Spacer between cartridge and headshell on Breuer

You should be able to raise the tonearm to get the arm
parallel to the record surface . The tonearm pillar is adjustable higher or
lower. It is possible you have the arm up at the pivot as high as it will go.
If so, you'll have to shim it somewhere. IMO I wouldn't want to shim between
the cartridge and headshell.

Hi Kipdent/Drjoe!
Thanks for your advice.
In spite of lowering the arm as much as I could I could not get it parallel. End of tonearm (towards armboard) was slightly higher. There is adjustment screw for VTA wich I freed from touching armbase. The armboard is original from TW Acustic with steel insert for Breuer.
What about the black spacer coming along with tonearm, do you know if it´s standard. Or is it specifically asked for when ordering Breuer.
I definitely don´t want this arrangement, prefer without any spacer.
If any of you have experience with PC-1/Breuer I´d be happy
to know.

Many Thanks!

Hi, Clabe--

I can't imagine Jeff at Highwater couldn't solve this for you. Give him a call!

i recently installed a breuer 8c on my micro seiki rx1500, i needed more height actually and installed a 1/2" spacer under the arm base to raise it up at the back end. however, in your case, there should be lots of space to lower the arm. did you loosen the arm cueing mechanism? that will definitely have an effect on how the arm sits. it slides up and down around the mounting base to accommodate the various heights of the arm. to answer your spacer question, my arm did not come with any spacers, so i don't think that it's a breuer part.

HI Clabe

I have seen a guy use a spacer on his Breuer for that reason, and it came from Graham Engineering, same shape as the Phantom headshell, but it looked ok in the pictures. That would be your easy solution.

Your other option, and Jeff from High Water Sound says he has almost the same problem with is Breuer on the Raven One/Two is that with that arm cart and table combo the spacer for the armboard is a touch to thick so he cannot get the back of the arm down as much as he likes to get a full VTA range of motion if your cart is not too tall.
So if your dealer can have Thomas from TW can make a thinner spacer to put under your armboard, that would solve you problem, or get the new VTA armboard which looks very slick in execution and provides VTA on the fly without compromizing ridgitity.
