rega new tables p5 p7

I just saw the news on the Rega website as well. Certainly looks interesting, only problem so far is that the P25 with its wooden surround looks about 100 times better than the new ones. The other problem is that new tonearm seems to have the base of the RB 1000 so that none of the aftermarket VTA adjusters won't work anymore. Also that means that the standard armboards with the hole predrilled for the RB250/300/600 won't take the new RB 700. Too bad the RB 600 will be discontinued....
The other interesting thing is the new powersupply (upgrade for the P5 and included in the P7. Wonder how that will compare to the $300 powersupply/line conditioner by Heed Audio...

both tables look ugly compared to the 25. you gotta wonder what they're thinking.....the 9 is now the last beautiful rega table

I would agree the p25 was nice looking and the p9 is beautiful. but the new tables at least on the website look a little like plastic. I wonder why the switch away from the p25?

But will they play at the correct speed....

Touche, Troutki. I'm betting 'not (pun intended).
