I've just picked up a 2005 Rega P2 turntable in mint condition from a local monthly house clearance auction. I had no need for it but put a silly bid on commission and to my surprise it was mine for well under £50
Ive owned an LP12 with Lingo, Ekos and various other Linn upgrades for many years now but I've set up the Rega and admire its simplicity and decided to keep it as a second deck, but I already have the urge to upgrade it!
It came fitted with a Grado Black cart which judging by the turntables condition I don't expect has done many hours. I have already ditched the MDF platter for a second hand Planer 3 glass one, any suggestions what to do next? belt? Arm upgrades? - I had an Origin Live RB250 when they first came out on the LP12 and seem to remember it being pretty good.
