Whatever else you decide to do, upgrade that cartridge. A friend with a P3 table went from the Elys to a Clearaudio Performer
with excellent results
(shimming of the tonearm base will be needed). Also, look into the aftermarket upgrades available for the Rega and power supply upgrades.
Upgrade to my system - Speakers maybe
I have been a long time reader, first time I am posting. This will be my first upgrade in a while.. Other than Roon it has been like 6 or 7 years since I bought anything other than a Sonos for a bedroom.
My current system is:
Rega P3-24 w/ Elys2
Rega Brio R
Marantz NA7004 Network Player
Revel Performa3 M106s with Revel stands
Sunfire HRS 8 Subwoofer
Streaming from a Mac via Roon
Room is 13' x 20' with 8' ceilings.
Not sure if I should get book shelf speakers or bigger speakers. They need to take up same amount of space. Speakers now are like 3' from the back wall. Size needs to be about the same. I will be too close to the speakers if they are out any further.
I listen to everything except hip-hop and country. This is audio only. I have a separate home theater.
My budget is $6-7K. Maybe more if I can sell the Revels. I can go higher if something wows me but I don't want to. I did listen to one speaker, the Revel 126BEs. Seemed like the obvious choice. Way too metallic sounding. I hated them.
