Rega phono cart,s that can be used without spacer

Does anyone out there know of phono cart's. that can be used with Rega tables such as P3, P5, RP6, and Rp8, without having to put spacers in to insure the correct VTA? I love to change cartridges, but the Rega arms discourage this, and Rega apparently wanst you to use their phono cart's: Bias, Elyses, Exact, etc.

I just ordered a Nagaoka MP-150 for my Rega P3-24 from NeedleDoctor, and I was assured by Brian that a spacer is not needed, and that the Nagaoka cartridges match quite well with the Rega RB-301 tonearm.

Hi Matt .... It's great to learn that you're happy with the Nag on our table/arm. What protractor did you use to mount the cartridge ?.... and did you need to raise the arm lift cueing bar at all ?

would a spacer be needed for the Nagaoka MP 500?

My Audio Technica works with no spacer and sounds great on my RP6 after being professionally setup. See my system info. I got it from 2juki on eBay. Many great reviews here about his service.
