    Ah - you no doubt meant a shim under the cart, whereas stupid Rega owner automatically thought arm base. Ignore me.

    Another thought strikes, hopefully more helpful than the last one: shimming the cart will increase arm/cart effective mass in a way that might not agree with the cart's compliance. And doing the mat would avoid having to do the alignment palaver all over again.

    I agree. I opted for mat, but I do have a 15mm Shure cart in addition to the AT and Ortofon, so I think I'll have to shim that one. I'm careful about VTF, so hopefully shimming won't be a problem.
