Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"

What test record are you using ?  I have the latest 12" U version can perform the test also if you let me know.

Good Listening

I have the "Schalplatte 2"  in route will try it on my 12" Tripalnar and report what it can track, have a choice of Cartridges Lyra Atlas, Etna and Ortofon MC Anna for high caliber MC - any particular combination  you'd
like to see ?


Good Listening

Link to picture of the Denon DN308 rebuild with the triplanar in "fitting" mode :-)

Got the "Schalplatte2" and finally completed the Turntable for the Triplanar U12, latest model (1-2017).  It tracks 100 u with no issues, plays tracks 5 and 6 on side B perfectly - so clearly the OP must have some setup issue with his TriPlanar or very unlikely its defective.  The cartridge mounted on the Triplanar U12 is a Lyra Etna.

Heres a picture of the turntable / arm used for this simple test. It is the last picture

Have made a improvement to this otherwise excellent tonearm.  I found the VTA/SRA adjustment "tower" did not hold the arm base firmly enough with its single knurled screw attachment especially if one is more than half way up on this adjustment.  If your constantly fiddling with VTA/SRA its probably not a benefit, but I don't, so I designed a add on tri-point stabilizing ring for this, see virtual systems page for how it works. Last picture. This adds tremendous stability to the tonearms mounting rigidity.

We can make more should anyone have an interest. Since it a specialized item and probably only to be made in a very small quantity it will not be inexpensive though. 


Good Listning,

Peter

Salectric,

Thanks for the suggestion - but the U12 has the armrest mounted to the damper through, were the earlier versions different ?


Good Listening
