Hey Folks,I have a NAD 533 with a RB250 (with 300 endstub and counter weight) and will be replacing my Shure V15VxMR with an Audio Technica AT400mla. I never needed a VTA adjuster with the V15, but I think the AT is a taller cart. Does anyone have any experiences with a Rega or NAD rig similar to mine with the AT400mla? I Would prefer not to hassle with an adjuster, but I'm all for one if the sound quality will be noticably diminished without one. Thanks in advance!

That should read 440mla

Hi Henry, I've been using a AT440mla on a Rega P2 with 250tonearm per your recommendation months ago (its great thank you). Where can I get a 2mm spacer, do I really need one, and how would I apply it? Thank you

Hi Theron,I have pretty much the same rig as you. Does the tonearm sit parallel to the record surface, or is it tilted back? Are you getting a balanced sound?
Cheers,
I guess a pix is worth a thousand words. To my amateur ears its sounds balanced....
Thanks for the picture Theron. It looks like the tonearm might be tilted back a bit due to the cart's height. But, if you are happy with the sound and its tracking well, that's all that matters. Henry, thanks for the info about the spacer. I think I'll mount the 440 with no shim and see how I like the sound. I can always order one later.Cheers,
or find something close for a lot less at a hardware store.I found I needed the spacer for my 440ML and a Denon DL-160 when I had a P3.
