Help with getting shims for my Ortofon Cadenza Blue.

I have a Technics SL-1200G with a Cadenze Blue.   I haven't bought a USB microscope yet, but it looks like I have too much VTA.   And I have a Ortofon LH-9000 headshell.  Even with my tonearm is all the way down, I seem to have way too much VTA.   The bottom of the cartridge is parallel to the record.

I think I need something like a wedge shim to lower to back side (closest to the tonearm pivot point) of my cartridge.   Can anyone give me some recommendations.   Or even heard of too much VTA

Send your cartridge off to WAM and they will do a microscope analysis of your stylus and provide custom shims to correct the errors specific to your cartridge/stylus.
