Audio Note UK R-Zero/II stand alone phono stage, my review of AN's least expensive phono stage..

Yes you need a 2 mm spacer. There is a Rega spacer and other options out there. You can even use washers. I used a relatively pricey set from Acoustic Signature because you can put them in without removing the tonearm. As far as set up, you will need an alignment protractor, buy you can download one for free (or a small donation) over at vinylengine. There is a specific one for Rega tonearms that aligns it perfectly off of two set points. I think I used the Rega Baerwald V.2. As soon as you line up those two points, you have the right alignment.

 

Great I think I’ll go the acoustic signature route if it’s makes setting it up easier too! And thanks for the info on the setup. I’m a member at vinylengine too so I’ll check out the details there as well. Man setting up a Technics was so much easier lol
