With my Rega P3-24/Exact 2 combination (Rega cartridge with Rega arm) .....NO SPACERS REQUIRED ! My dealer advises that spacers will be needed if I switch to a "taller" cartridge (Benz, Dynavector, etc.)
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 ?

Rega recently introduced an adjustable spacer, but it's only for their 3 point mount tonearms. The current P3 has such an arm, but some older models use a single large nut to secure the arm and this spacer will not work with them. The adjustable spacer sells for $29 in the US. |
