Rega RP6 VTA issue

Nope, many avoid Rega for just that reason.There are after market "spacers" and such available but who needs another PITA.

+1 to Schubert's reply. Rega are decent entry level tables for those who want to 'set it and forget it'. However, for those looking for ways to better performance, Rega is not the answer. I don't know why they bother making any turntables that cost more than a couple hundred bucks.

Analog has always been more ritual intensive. Setting the VTA should be a one time thing once the cartridge is installed and the spacers are a good solution because it addresses Rega's over-riding concern about rigidity.

On the other hand, if you happen to like how a particular Rega cartridge sounds, VTA is not an issue at all.

You're not alone. Rega makes very high value/performance components, but they are not, for the most part, aimed at the tweaky, perfectionist audiophile. Setting the VTA with spacers does work, but it's not very user friendly. I think the lack of azimuth adjustment is a bigger flaw. Despite what I think, the Rega tonearm is the most popular audiophile tonearm since its introduction in the early 1980s.
