Thank you all for your responses. I think that I will try another cartridge.
It is nice to see the Rega P5 so well regarded. One of my issues was speed stability, particularly at the end of a side of an lp. I bought their outboard power supply which was supposed to be an upgrade in speed regulation, and I detect no audible difference. I was wondering if another manufacturer was better in this department, such as VPI.
The reason that I don't listen to more vinyl is the "software" issue. Nothing is more satisfying than a pristine lp, but I'm tired of buying at stores, ebay, etc and getting the usual 40 year old warped discs. I have cleaning fluids, brushes, etc, and the Rega record clamp, but I still find those issues limiting.
