Your right and I agree PAR.... but I was (I thought) talking about approximate VTA (and hence SRA) settings. Note I made no mention in my post about leveling the arm... my use/recommendation of spacers on Rega tables is in terms of trying to get VTA/SRA as reasonably near were it should be for the cartridge in use (which in my experience has meant getting the arm up higher than as it comes).

Because of the approximate adjustability (or lack of, or fixed adjustment levels) of Rega tables, I generally do not recommend (sell) cartridges that use line contact type styli on Rega tables (preferring good sounding cartridges with elpitical styli which are more forgiving to the crude adjustability offered with Rega tables and deliver very good sounding results).

Then there is the impact of tracking force on VTA/SRA, thickness of the TT mat and its impact, thickness of the LP to be played... etc. :-)


Happy Listening,
