Cartridges for Rega Tables

I have a Rega P10 (previous version) and am wondering if anyone makes a cartridge that is the exact same height top to stylus? Since Rega doesn’t offer adjustable VTA, I wondered if I could get a cartridge that doesn’t require shimming the tonearm. I know Rega offers a number of Cartridges, but I never have really cared for their sound signature. I am currently using a Lyra Kleos but thinking of making a change.

thank you

I’d never heard of those, will have to look into them.

The Dynavector 17Dx is the right for Rega.

Thank you both, I looked at the Excalibur site, but my German is a little off these days. Do you know if anyone in the US carries these? I had never heard of them before.

dynavectors are outstanding...  lower ones sound great, spend more $$ they get better and better

works exceptionally well with the aussie dyna p75 phono stage with the special 'enhancer' mode

it doesn't  look like those Excalibur cartridges have the Rega three point mounting system or the 14mm height of Rega catridges.  
What about them is Rega specific?

OP if you are using a Lyra Kleos on a Rega arm without VTA spacers you are wasting it.  
The Rega cartridges are 14mm from base to stylus tip.  Hana have some 16mm cartridges.
