Before I returned to vinyl (2007) my previous tables were from the 70's mostly (pioneer/Dual/Thorens/Yamaha). I did my research before 2007 and knowing how much I wanted to initally spend, not knowing for sure if it would be a fad or I would be a fanatic, I set my outlay limit and was very pleased with the P5. I had a dealer who helped me along, gave his opinion (he carried VPI, SME, Thorens, Pro-ject & Rega). He led me in the right direction and I have returned to him for my prvious upgrades. I feel I made the right choice for my situation.

I too have enjoyed my P5. The last 6 months I put in a bunch of upgrades that transform this table further.

Took the opportunity to snag a GrooveTracer counterweight from Racetripper, as he is moving on from his Rega to a Clearaudio. It arrived today and I mounted it up on the P5. Looks great, and sure puts the mass lower and closer to the pivot. Like all GrooveTracer products, it's beautifully made.
Cuter than a speckled puppy!

I didn't do a counterweight comparison, Shane, but I will say that my P5 never sounded better!
That table is absolutely amazing fo the money....too bad it's been discontinued.

Stephen, do you have the Groovetracer subplatter on your P5? I would highly suggest this if you don't.
PS Nice looking table. |

Oh, yes, of course. It was the first thing I did when I got the P5 was to install my GT Ref subplatter.
I have a way-cool, one-off black anodized one. Fantastic product.
