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... 
Eversolo Streamer Help!

Cartridge Setup Question for Rega P10 with Hana Blue
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. Especial...
