![]() ![]() ![]() Most new cartridges are made to fit a medium weight arm like the Rega. If it comes to compliance and weight of the new cartridge the same rule applies. The sharper the tip profile the more care needs to be taken in setup and alignment. Only when you would buy a cartridge with an advanced stylus shape like micro line, shibata, hyper elliptical etc the VTA is more important. You can use a washer or a record mat if you must, but you won't notice any difference. If a new cartridge is a bit less high than the 2M it will be no problem anyway. The Ortofon 2M is even made to fit flush into the Rega arms, their competitor. If they make a cartridge that doesn't fit in 99% of arms you will soon be out of business. Most cartridges you can buy are made to fit in what is in the market. Not to mention using a different or no record mat. When you play a flimsy single you also change the VTA compared to a 200g lp. When you change the vertical tracking force you also change the verticle tracking angle because you push in the suspension. The more refined (or expensive) your turntable is, the closer the tolerances and the more care has to be taken in setup and alignment. You can play records with a postcard and a sowing needle. Didn't you buy it? It's not like it's broken whenever you loosen a screw.įunny how people with the cheapest turntables approach the subject as if it were rocket science. I'm a bit baffled why people are so scared to change something about their turntable. ![]()
