Cartridges for Rega Tables

I have a Rega P10 (previous version) and am wondering if anyone makes a cartridge that is the exact same height top to stylus? Since Rega doesn’t offer adjustable VTA, I wondered if I could get a cartridge that doesn’t require shimming the tonearm. I know Rega offers a number of Cartridges, but I never have really cared for their sound signature. I am currently using a Lyra Kleos but thinking of making a change.

thank you

good luck, it sounds like you may need to experiment a little, but I am sure you will be satisfied once you hone in on the right height.

Thank you both, I looked at the Excalibur site, but my German is a little off these days. Do you know if anyone in the US carries these? I had never heard of them before.

I am currently using the Kleos with 3.5mm spacers, Jonathan Carr had told me that his calculations for the Rega arm with Kleos should be 3.4mm and rather than have a shim special made I figured 1 tenth mm was close enough. 

So if Rega carts are 14mm and the Hana are 15mm then I would need a 1 mm shim, which I do have. Are the Dynavectors 14mm or at some of their offerings?

As far as the 3 point I am not concerned, I can set the alignment. But this is giving me some options to investigate.
