Holly Cole, " Romatically Helpless"

Quick question regarding your Rega P5-
I also have a P5 with external PSU. I had the tonearm rewired, Incognito Rewire Kit. I also replaced the stock feet with Black Diamond Racing feet and use the the upgraded belt. It sits on a Maple Shade maple platform. Everything else is stock. Did you buy the table already having the Groove Tracer mods or did you do it? If you did, what were the noticeable results? Every once in a while I think about the Groove Tracer mods but have never went for it.

I sent the arm out to have the rewire done. My hand was forced due to one of the clips to the cartridge post broke. Not a big difference to my ears.
What changes did you hear when you changes the subplatter and counter weight?
Thanks

Sorry guys. You are right. My inquisitiveness got the best of me. As to my mention of Holly Cole, "Romantically Helpless", I wasn't trying to use it as a wedge to distract this thread. I find it to be a very good LP. The first two songs on side A are my favorites, her rendition of Paul Simon's "One Trick Pony" and the title track. 
I will behave myself now. Don't want to be on Santa's naughty list.
