STAINLESS 2MM SHIM A simple shim that fit underneath the tonearm in order to adjust arm height. For older models only that mount using a large nut. Not for three-point arms. Stainless 2mm shim used to raise an older Rega tonearm. It is possible to stack shims if more height is required. More than 4mm adjustment requires the sleeved arm nut to mount the arm securely. 2MM THREE POINT ARM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SPACER - STAINLESS & BLACK ANODISED Some other manufacturers cartridges may have a deeper body than Rega cartridges, these will sometimes require the use of the three-point spacer to allow clearance of the rear of the cartridge from the vinyl. Such as the Ortofon range of cartridges. When Rega arms are fitted to turntables from other manufacturers it may be necessary to add our Rega arm spacers to achieve the correct arm height. Note: On Rega turntables, spacers should not be necessary unless you are you using an exceptionally deep-bodied cartridge from another manufacturer. Arm height or V.T.A adjustment can be a controversial subject. Rega believes that the integrity of the arm fixing onto the arm mounting board is much more important than the questionable facility of arm adjustment. The arm should be reasonably parallel to the record surface or slightly lower at the mounting. The only time a spacer is necessary to raise the arm height is if the rear of a cartridge is hitting the record whilst playing.
