Fully upgraded Rega P3 vs P8
I doubt your P3 exceeds the performance of the P6. The P8 is even further improved.

@zardozmike Am I missing a topographic joke?

Various ‎– The Young Fogies (Heritage 1985)Deep South moonshine music. Awesome.  
Videos of your System
Enjoy. You walk the walk. Note that the big cabinet between the speakers will mess up imaging.While not video, have you checked out Virtual Systems? 
Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money
Nothing at that pricepoint. Groovemaster ll is worth a look, although, the Jelco 850 may win on detail where the GM has more authority.  
Jelco tonearms closes
The 850L is a substantial upgrade over the 750L. Grab a mk2 when you can. That said, the Groovemaster ll, Thomas Schick, Audiomods, Wand etc. all compete in the sub $2k ballpark.  
Tonearm for Zephyr Mk3
Depends on budget and the turntable. Most modern arms will work with lower compliance cartridges.  
Replacement Fuses
I tried a $40 Furatech rhodium fuse but didn't like it.Wrapping a few turns of masking tape around the glass part only - no touchy end caps - brought definite improvements. Blacker background and more stable 3D image for free.

@millercarbon I used collect/drink craft beer until the guts went south from abuse. Too many 12% quads.

Nice radios, Al. Although my naive favorites are those big piano key Telefunken Grundigs. 
Garrott vs Soundsmith
@chakster Thanks for the Garrott post. Good read. I have 2 Garrott Bros Deccas. Superb. 
What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable?
@2channel8 The Jelco 850 and JAC501 cable will do what you are looking for. It is a very good arm. George Merrill has the best price.
