Compatible with Debut I-III, Carbon, EVO, and Essential I-III models, it enables optimal cartridge performance and sound quality. Installation requires basic tools and care to avoid warranty issues, with professional guidance recommended. ## Description This is for increasing the height of the tonearm on a Pro-Ject Debut or Pro-Ject Essential turntable. It is compatible with Debut I-III, Debut Carbon, Debut Carbon EVO, Essential I-III (only in the standard configurations). It is 1.5mm thick. The Pro-Ject Debut and Pro-Ject Essential Turntables do not have the option to adjust the height of the tonearm and so if you upgrade a stock metal platter to an acrylic platter, or upgrade a stock mat to a thicker mat, the vertical track angle (VTA) will be off, which will make it harder for the cartridge to read the record correctly and get the full range of sound. You can correct this misalignment by installing this VTA shim to increase the height of the tonearm. A Philips # 1 screwdriver & 5.5 mm nut driver wrench are required for installation. Installing the tonearm is a bit of a process, so you should only try this if you can have a professional do it or you feel comfortable messing with your turntable. It is possible to void your warranty if you mess up your turntable in the process of installing this VTA shim. A link to the instructions is included on the Supreme Tech website. You can find the URL on the label on the bag the VTA shim comes in. Review: VTA - Not hard to install,,,leveled the arm up when I added the new acrylic platter that was a little taller than the original Review: The exact same product for 3 times cheaper. - After going through two Ortofon 2M Blues on my Project DC Espirit that rode WAY too low it was touching the vinyl, I gave up and thought I would never find a way to upgrade from the 2M red. Turns out Pro Ject made a VTA shim last year for $25, but kinda hard to find dealers that sell it, so I just kept forgetting about it. Finally decided to give it a try, searched here on desertcart and found this one, which is the exact same as the Pro Ject product and follows the same instructions, but happens to be cheaper. The installation is not easy but not hard, I do not do any kind of DIY projects and still could install this myself. Installed the 2M blue and it's riding perfectly. Definitely recommend this product. ## Features - This is for increasing the height of the tonearm on a Pro-Ject Debut or Pro-Ject Essential turntable. - Compatible with Debut I-III, Debut Carbon, Debut Carbon EVO, Essential I-III (only in the standard configurations).

Definitely recommend this product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support a Small Business AND Spend Less...No Brainer! *by J***S on June 22, 2023* Shim is good quality and only takes about ten minutes to install if you're being extra cautious (less if you're not). I am still using the dampened metal platter that came with my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO, but I have a 3mm acrylic mat on top, so the shim was a must to raise up the tonearm. Glad I found this lower cost alternative from a small business. Does it improve the sound? Hard to tell, but I like to think it does! I think the SUPREMETECH acrylic platter is next up! ## Frequently Bought Together - VTA Shim for Pro-Ject Debut and Pro-Ject Essential Turntables - Pro-Ject: Acryl-It Platter Upgrade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/447199786-vta-shim-for-pro-ject-debut-and-pro-ject-essential](https://www.desertcart.no/products/447199786-vta-shim-for-pro-ject-debut-and-pro-ject-essential) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
