Cartridge Setup Question for Rega P10 with Hana Blue

Sounds like you know the answer. 
 

I prefer not to add a shim between the tonearm and plinth, but could be convinced.

then upgrade to a turntable that allows for VTA adjustment. 

On a flip side, I am curious about Hana Blue. I’m using Hana ML now and looking to go up the Hana line. Never heard the SL mk2. If you get a chance please share your thoughts 

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. And, you will always wonder if you don’t.

these are split into 2 pieces so they simply slide in from the sides

these black ceramic coated washers are 0.065" = 1.65mm (2mm = 0.079")

rega makes 2mm thick aluminum, and for more money 2mm thick stainless steel

here’s a kit of thin SS washers

Thanks and I agree -- I did pull the trigger and order the Rega SS shim. I was just wondering if a wedge shim between the cartridge and tonearm to realign the angle was a preferred solution to adding a shim between the plinth and tonearm. Especially since Rega is silent on recommending the shim for the R3000  Tonearm.

... I'm sure I'm just overthinking it. They are probably just being silent on a shim for the P10 to encourage sales of their higher end cartridges. 

@mikei I just installed the Rega 2mm stainless shim under the TA2 tonearm (a modified Rega RB330) on a Michell Engineering TecnoDec.  It would have been easier to use washers or the two-piece kit from Acoustic Signature, but I wanted to use the official Rega part (call me crazy).  It's a bit more work to undo the ground wire from beneath the turntable and completely remove the three bolts securing the arm to the armboard, then pulling the ground wire/phono cables through the hole in the armboard, but it's not too bad and it all turned out well.  In case you're wondering, it's apparently recommended to place the flat side of the shim against the arm board and the recessed side against the base of the arm.  Someone on this forum and my audio dealer confirmed it, although I couldn't find anything official from Rega that stated that.
