It's been a while since there has been an update to the extremely popular Ortofon 2M line of cartridges. One of the features of the new "2MR" line is backward compatibility with the existing 2M line. Also of interest is the emphasis on compatibility with Rega arms and specifically VTA height. Rega cartridges and thus their turntables use a cartridge height of 14 mm. Most third-party cartridges are typically 16 to 17 mm in height. To achieve correct VTA with a Rega tonearm, one needs to install a 2 mm shim at the base of the tonearm to be in the correct VTA range for third party cartridges. More info here.
