I'm not convinced yet that it is better than mounting a Rega cart on a Rega arm. I like the synergy you have.

I'm using this on my p3-24 with the TTPSU. This is a very nice MM Cart, with same shibata stylus they put on their jubilee cart (and costs a LOT more). Mounts perfect on the rega arm with a 2mm spacer.
