Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom

Looking at the top of this cartridge there are 3 little tabs. One at the front and 2 at the back. The top of the cartridge does not make contact with the headshell on its entire surface. Also, with the Graham, the cartridge is further back in the slots for correct alignment making one of the tabs at the back not make contact at all with the headshell.

After aligning it with my Mint LP and securing the screws, viewing the cartridge from the front, i can see a small gap between the top of the cartridge and the headshell and the cartridge is "tilted" ever so slightly to one side because only 2 of the tabs are making contact with the headshell.

Are you experiencing the same?
Thanks

I came across this on another forum and i think it could potentially help some Phantom users here. From the look of it I think it can be used as pure spacer or add a few inserts to decouple the cartridge from the headshell.
I have a Phantom II with Micro RX 5000 and i might try this later when i get my A90.

Agree wth Downunder about the Ortofon working fine on the Phantom.

And the aluminium spacer with holes for screw in inserts is being made by a member of Lenco heaven.I'd asked him about it and i think it's about 2.35mm thick.
