Rega Rb-250

Planar 2 with Rb-250. Have a Benz Micro ACE H on the way. Cart is 8.8g..do I need a heavy counterweight for the Rega?..I thought I remember reading the the 250 can take a cart up to 12g with the stock weight.

The RB-250 can handle 11g. The Benz (8.8g) with mounting hardware will put the weight at roughly 9.3g, thus Im told all will be good with that set up from those who have experience. We'll see when it arrives. I do have the 2 and 4mm spacers avail that will be needed, (likely the 4mm size) and Rega extended nut in case.

I didnt need the heavyweight or the Extended Nut at all. I needed the 2mm spacer to set proper VTA for the Benz. The 4mm was way too much.
