Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2?


I recently got a good deal on a Rega Planar 8 and I'm now looking to outfit it with a cartridge. The guy who sold me the turntable has suggested Clearaudio Charisma v2 or  ZYX R100 Yatra H. Due to Rega not having a VTA adjustment, I'm leaning towards the Apheta line instead. Has anyone had any experience with any of the mentioned cartridges and I'm also welcome to other recommendations. I have a tavish adagio for a phono stage and both my my preamp and amp are tube based.

If you want to have warranty and LOMC - you can go for Yatra why not but better one is not H version. If you have capable phono stage it will be good.
It's interesting cartridge and craftsmanship of ZYX is really good one.

As about shims if you will buy cartridge with advanced profile you have to use shims. Of course as Rega tonearm don't have VTA adjustment it's tricky.
