Your going to hear mostly that it's a significant upgrade and from the sound point of view it is . Too me just the music went out of the window so after some years of struggles with P9 I sold it to a friend who is extremely happy with it and bought an Oracle Delphi. YMMW so best of luck.I wouldn't be myself not to point out that a properly machined table from Rega meaning good bearing ,precise aluminum machined sub platter and optimal drive system cost real money and it's not any bargain. The alternatives exist. Also what is good as a concept for a cheap budget table doesn't mean is going to work equally well in high end application. In my opinion Rega's concept doesn't.

Sold my Oracle Delphi MKI several years ago and bought an RP6.
Couldn't be happier.

You know , this hobby is full of unhappy , neurotic people who seem to buy equipment just to hurt themselves even more so it's nice to meet from time to time somebody who is happy:) I do like cheap Rega tables. Just don't like their more expensive models nearly as much.
I know that my newly acquired Oracle MKV is significantly better than Rega P9 and I can say with some dose of confidence that it is going to be better than any Rega which will be born of the old Rega concept in the future.
Warm Regards, W
Thanks.
The only thing I envy is your budget.
Cheers!

There is nothing to envy really. I struggle to have the ends meet like everybody else. I gave up on a better car (driving 12 years old junk) and lots of other things for that audio obsession and it doesn't pay back. I fall for that promised sound trap all the time even though I've traveled the same road many times before . Don't we all ? Or at least a big part of us?
Oracle I bought just for it's sheer beauty and because my friend really wanted the Rega P9 (having read all those great reviews ). I must be the only one in the universe who really doesn't care for it ;)
Warm regards, W
