Do you know what size hex nuts you used so I can pick them up at the hardware store?
"I've got a P3-24 and currently have an Ortofon 2MBlue on it. I have a DL-110 on order. Both of these cartridges are within 0.4mm in height. I found that a perfect 4mm shim was to find 3 regular (nickel plated) hex nuts. They are about 4mm each in height. I Just plopped them under the 3 points of the Rega arm and TA DA a perfect 4mm shims. My 2M Blue sits perfectly level with the platter."
See ya. Dave

The three hex nuts I put under each mounting point are either 10mm or you can similarly use 5/16ths inch ones. I just grabbed mine out of my tool box which has a bunch of nuts and bolts inside. The ones I use also measure about 4mm in height and are nickel plated so they look nice and shiny. The arm mounts seat over the nuts and the Rega supplied wood screws slip through the nut holes.
Thanks.
I put 1/8" tall hard plastic spacers on during lunch today, and I've got the problem with the counterweight hitting the dust cover. I've got some plastic door shims I'm going to use under the back of the cover till I figure out if there's a sonic benifit to raising the VTA.
See ya. Dave
I put on in each corner of the plinth these little clear, rubber, round dots. They are self adhesive on one side and are about 2mm thick. Being clear and not too big in diameter (maybe 1cm in dia.)they sit on the top corners of the plinth and the dust cover closed sits on them and no longer touches the counter weight. They can be lift off at a later date if one wishes to.

Being circles, did you have to overhang them over the plinth edges so the thin edges of the dust cover gets good surface contact? I was thinking about adhering them to the underside of the dust cover corners instead of the plinth.
See ya. Dave
Just a nudge over each edge. You can try the base of the dust cover but I think they may more easily fall off or get knocked off. But it may be worth a try.
Thanks. I'm off and running.
See ya. Dave
