[QUOTE="MusicMan_ZA, post: 820910, member: 14924"] Ok, I see your problem, and it is actually clear in the pic of that headshell. I don't believe there is any problem with adding a spacer between the headshell and the cart (as long as you find the right length fixing screws (no big problem)) apart from THE EXTRA WEIGHT you are adding on the headshell side - will you counter-weight be heavy enough to set the correct tracking force? (I have seen very light plastic spacers, and also heavier metal ones). Then make sure to set the VTA correctly, and this is when moving the arm pillar up in the collar might become necessary. All this is lots of fun to experiment with, and solve! :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
