Rod,
I think the P7 with RB700 arm is about US$2600, and the P9 with RB1000 is about $4600. I could be off a couple hundred.

NEWS FLASH: AudioCrack comes in multiple, highly potent English Rega flavors. There's the lower priced, 99.9% pure P2, P3, and P25 (P25 available used for under $875 w/ cartridge). Now dealers are happy to present the even more AudioCrackalacious 99.9992% pure P7 and P9 (perfect hearing and exacting, synergistic system matching extra):

Thank God for Prez. Bush and those tax cuts, so I and others can continue to feed our respective habits!

All kidding aside, I sometimes marvel that we (our spouses /children /friends /etc) are so understanding about our respective audio addictions. Too bad the acronym AA is already taken!

To those who upgrade to the Rega P7 or P9, it'd be great to read a well written review. Happy buying and listening!

Hey, what other crack can you use for months, or even years, then turn around and sell for about what you paid?

Dear Inscrutable,

This might make an excellent poll question. Albeit, you don't have to be a comedian, Grand Canyon guide, or divorce lawyer to think of a few witty ripostes:

Actually, the P9 is $3500 U.S.

This site says $3900, and I can't recall now where I saw 4600, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating. Hey, I'm rooting for you to be correct anyway - it's getting closer to where I may afford it!
