RE: VTA

While you can't go lower, I have not yet run into a cartridge that required a Rega arm to be lowered to get correct VTA... this is mainly due to the height of Rega's own cartridges being so low that to mount just about any non rega cartridge on a Rega table requires VTA spacer installed under the arm to raise it up to get correct (or more accurately- correct approximate) VTA.

FWIW, I prefer Rega machined aluminum spacer on the better Rega tables (does a better job than the plastic spacer in firmly securing the arm to the plinth) and I think there are one or two other folks out there making VTA spacers for the 3 point arm mount on the RP8.

Also, having used a RP8 (and all the other Rega tables), the package Rega offers with the revised Apheta2 is a great deal.... the Apheta2 is much improved over the original version IMO. It would be a pretty significant jump over a P25.

Happy Listening,
