Spacers for Rega P3


Am I the only one who thinks that the tonearm in the Rega P3 is mounted a bit too low ?
It seems that it needs to climb a few mm on its way to the record.
The solution is very simple: a spacer... but wouldn't Rega use a spacer on the stock P3 if one was needed ?
Should I add a spacer ? What size ? 2mm or 4 mm ?

Are you using a Rega cartridge? If so, then you should not need a spacer. Any other brand of cartridge would likely require 2mm or more.
As pointed out, a spacer is not needed when using the, rather short, Rega cartridges. And the arm is not mounted a bit too low, though it may be mounted a bit too low for your cartridge. The height of the spacer that you will need is dependent on the height of your cartridge and the alignment of your stylus and cantilever angle.
