rega planar 3 cart replacement...

I absolutely agree wth Jalance2069. I have an Expressimo VTA adjuster. The adjustment is infinite for the task - with the spacers you have only its setting.

The 10x5 requires a 2mm spacer

Does the Michell require any modifications to the plinth? I know the VTAF does. That VTAF has had many great review....I'm just worried about making a modification that can't be reversed. The phono stage I'm using is the Bellari VP129.

Cheers,
Steve

The BP Special takes 4mm spacers. Not sure about the BP2 or DV; my memory would suggest 2mm.

Hello, i would forget the spacers and get an Adjustable VTA base like the Michell or VTAF(on the fly adj!). It's a lot more accurate and simpler to do.
I haven't heard the BP2, but i really like the 10X5. There also is the Denon DL-103/transformers, Grado Sonata, Audio Technica AT33PTG, Benz Ace, Ortofons, etc. Get 2, they're small! Lots of choices, depending on your phono stage or system.
Have fun and enjoy, Alan
