Non Rega cartridge suggestions on a P6


Who is using a non rega cartridge on a rega p6 turntable?  I understand that there may be some interference issues when using a heavier album or a turntable mat. I have not found physical dimensions of the rega cartridges. Do I understand that some cartridges may require a heavier counterbalance on the tonearm? Then does the dust cover clearance come into play?

I upgraded my Rega table to a Hana Blue recently and it was fairly easy to set it up the VTA once I purchased the split shims -- they are easy to install  and can be added in .5mm increments, which is nice.  It's a fairly heavy cartridge , but not so much that the counter weight was an issue. 

I really like the Hana cartridges a lot. So much that I almost wish I purchased the Red instead of the Blue. I'd recommend them for sure.

Elliott, I didn't know you bought a Rega turntable.  You were so dead set against them.  I'm surprised.  Good for you.  Who said an old dog can't learn.  Which model did you get?
