I've owned the P9, the RP10, and the P10, and they were all excellent tables. In the demos I've heard, the P10 sounded a little airier and had more detail and dynamics than an Akurate-level LP12 (I guess that's now Selekt) for about 1/2 the price. I heard them at different times and places, so my audio memory may not be that reliable. However the full-on Klimax sounded better to me than the Rega P10. The P10 is a fantastic bargain, easily the equal of tables costing 2 or 3 times its price. With the RP10 I had a Rega Aphelion cartridge and it was excellent. With the P10 I wanted a change and used a Koetsu, and in the end, although it sounded very good, I think the arm and cartridge were not a good match.
