Congrats, Jerome! Wow, you've made some great choices for your first analog rig:
* Going with the best used table in your budget - that Rega P7 looks sweet!! Sounds like you did an excellent job setting it up too - that I left in the hands of the local audio shop pro
* Getting a good cart - I haven't tried anything else, but I know that Benz Micro Glider is sufficient to let the heart & soul of music shine through to a much greater degree than sub-$5K digital sources (IMO).
* Using the HD650 - These cans seem like they were made for vinyl. They have a rep for opening up with a top balanced amp, but they should also be known for their synergy with a good TT rig!
* Getting lots of great vinyl to play on your rig. Nice score on the cheap opera vinyl!
Incidentally, do you use a replacement cable with your Senns? I'd always preferred the likes of the Silver Dragon and Zu on my HD650, but now with the vinyl setup I swear the stock cable is sounding more smooth and natural...weird!
So you've also got a Woo 5 on the way? I should get to hear one very soon. I can't wait
