Needing VTA Spacers

[colver]

Does anybody know where i can get my hands on vta spacers for 300 and 600 arms? I can get the 3 point types but cant find the single spacers.

I use an Origin Live VTA adjuster on my RB300. Here's some more: http://www.analogueseduction.net/search ... vta+spacer

Go to a local bike shop in your area and find some spacers that are used in the headset of standard bike frames. A lot cheaper than $15.00 a pop for a rega spacer.

What a great idea think i may have some in the garage.

These 3 point shims were just introduced. ($75?)
You are not going to hold these down with wood screws.

Now there are two excellent ideas!

Mine are going to say Chris King on them, and match a paint job like RoDa's hee hee!

Too bad you might need more than one set of the Acoustic Signature ones with some carts. I guess you can buy a cheaper 2mm single shim and use the $75 set to fine tune.

Of course they are going to be carbon fiber also.

Yet another great idea, CF in rainbow colors!

I have a expressimo vta adjuster. Love it. Why would you need a 3 pointer for a rb300 or rb600 Tonearm?

You do if you have a 3 point mount arm like 303, 700, etc.
Just to post what is available out there.
The "Expressimo" is very good I had one when I was using the RB300.

If you read the package, for $75 gives 2 ranges of adjustment and can raise the arm
2-4 mm .

Very cool these from Acoustic Signature as shown earlier in the thread

Just wanted to chime in here...I just bought the 4 piece kit as mentioned from the distributor noted above-Goerner Communication
. (Set 2 0.5-6.5mm Stainless steel 0.5-6.5mm $95.00 (4 pcs: 0.5mm; 1mm; 2mm; 3mm; stackable)

I have a Rega P5 with RB 700 arm and installed a new Audio Technica AT 150 MLX. First with no spacers, then with the 3mm, then added the 2mm. Adding these spacers really is crazy fast and takes less time than adjusting the VTA on my Thorens!! Just loosen the 3 screws on the tonearm base, insert spacer and re-tighten. Great kit and highly recommended.

I saw a really nice one-piece version of this idea (imagine a fat letter C with three notches) at the website of some firm which bundled Rega or Moth TT's onto their turntables. And they were black, too: a big plus for many of us. I have lost the link, but if I find it...

ON EDIT: found it:

I spoke with Mr. Warren: he's never sold any to people who don't own his gear but he said he'd think it over and email me info. 1/32", 1/16" and 1/8" are the thicknesses.

One drawback of the C-shape is the less-than circular shape: maybe that's an issue??
