Did you make any P10 vs LP12 recordings when you had it home?
I did at the time. No one preferred the P10 but those people listening tend to have similar preferences to me so perhaps not a surprise. I would encourage anyone interested to have a listen.
Do we not tend to agree with with each other on most A/B's here in the playground Charlie?
In fact you're one of the few consistent guys with no obvious ulterior motives other than wanting to simply enjoy the most musical playback possible within your means that if you felt strongly positive about something that you've heard I'd seriously consider going out of my way to learn more about it.

Surely you can't expect
everyone to like it just cos you think its great?
Of course Charlie, I appreciate your opinion, you physically had a P10 in your home along with your LP12 in your system and made a educated decision based on your likes and dislikes and what your sensitive to. What I don't appreciate is baseless opinions from others who have never heard a P10 but feel they need to concoct negative assumptions and anecdotes anyway just because it doesn't fit into their narrative.
And I don't think the P10 is perfect, no deck is that I've ever heard and there's no perfect medium, but after 35 years with LP12's what it offers me is a new breath of fresh air approach to the LP12 that I find to be less colored -more neutral overall with less added on baggage- yet retains much about what I liked about the LP12, I understand that not many turntables get the tune right -if at all- like the LP12 has done over the years but the P10 is one of those few rare decks that makes music happen, gets me interested, helps me understand and keeps my attention. The "RP"8 I once had in my home for a few weeks several years ago began to do this for me too, but it wasn't quite right enough for me to want to give up my LP12 for it, the P10 on thye other hand struck the right balance for me between tune & neutrality that I'm more drawn to than any LP12 I've owned or listened to, and now 2 years later I still have no regrets.
