"To ’beat that exclusion’ Ortofon made some 14mm high models.
Where’s the list of 14mm high cartridges? Anyone?"

Simply scroll down past the 2Ms.
"My Exxon comments make me seem like a rabid mouthed long haired unwashed hippie.
You could have said ’I like Rega, it’s a shame you don’t’, but you went off the deep end, and seemed to me like a MOONIE. (Rev. Moon devotees).
There were so many of them outside and inside Penn Station, they used to ’slow me down’ trying to catch my train.
This thread, the many Rega fans ’slowed me down’ trying to get simple answers. It was you, finally, who led me to the null point answers, I again thank you.
As I said before, there is no way it should have taken me such repeated, persistent effort to get the answer.
I don’t compare Rega to Apple, but I put them in the same category, there is NO reason to make 14 mm high cartridges combined with a fixed arm height.
’Nasty’ seemed to stir the pot, I overstate things often, but I find it UNFORGIVABLE, like the Valdez, like printing light grey on white, like no printed measurements, like a ’new’ method, only 1 mark (not measurement), on a template that might be lost, rather than the long established industry standard of two null points. They do not, purposely do not, because they do not want to encourage using non-Rega cartridges!!!!! I will Never think otherwise."
How quickly we resort to name calling and disparaging remarks as called out when your own complacency and laziness when fulfilling your due diligence is only a few clicks away as in the Ortofon link I just provided to your query in the above underlined.
You need to bone up on Roy Gandy's philosophy regarding tone arm rigidity and how he believes that is circumvented when a tone arm is designed with too many ranges of adjustability. Oh, and if bearing facts makes me a "MOONIE" then so be it! Also, you all lost the OP three pages ago due to your long winded and pointless rhetoric though he might suddenly chime in to say he's been sitting back observing just to disparage my comments. Chow.
