Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"


Contemplating  sending my Tri-Planar Vll back to Tri Mai for his "SE Upgrade". Essentially, same carbon fiber wand and internal silver wire and leads used in his 12" U12 arm. Anybody done the dirty deed?  If so, better, worse or pretty much the same. 

I've only seen one post on the subject and that person seemed more than happy.

Thanks to anyone who responds with personal experience.  No conjecture please.

brf, ''a problem which I feel does not exit''. Well existance is

not as easy as you think. The most physicist may have believed

that Higgs particle does exist but we in Europe spend huge

amount of money to prove that this particle realy exist. What you

feel is irrelevant for my question. You are entitled to say: ''I don't

care about your question'' but you are not entitled to state that

there is no tracking issue because you feel this way. What kind

of argument is this; ''oratio pro domo?''

 For such statement you would need to repeit my experiment and

if your result is different you can then say: the issue does not exist

because I checked with test records made for this purpose.

As I mentiond before Benz LP S claims  80 microns by VTF of

2 g. while Windfeld claim 100 microns by 2,6 g. Do you think that

such claims are based on feelings?

I purchaesd my Triplanar VII second hand a few years back. It was an 09 vi tage with rca leads. I did send it Tri last year for the se upgrade and maintenance go through. I would say that it is a worthwhile upgrade. Besides the cosmetic improvements with headshell and armtube changes, the arm sounds better. The silver wiring and maybe the arm tube definately improved the soundstage presentation. I have a Graham phantom elite to compare with and prior to the upgrade, The Graham easily had a more 3d presentation. The upgrade put the Triplanar in very similar company in my system. I have been using both a Transfiguration Proteus and Zyx Universe II. I have sttled on the Graham with the Proteus which is a spectacular combo and the Universe II paired with the Triplanar. So I am adding to this thread with my experience as a positive one with the upgrade.

Cheers


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

pbnaudio, At last someone who is willing to check my finding.

BTW this ''Schallplatte 2'' is my ''old companion'' for years. I

even use the anti-skate test in order to get some impression about

the ''inside force'' . One can't get those 80 or 90 microns values

without  increaising of the anti-skate force . The right channel

start with distortion first and need compensation with anti-skate.

The German expression is ''Mu'' which means the same as micron.

I really hope that you can refute my finding. Then I can sell my

Triplanar without sense of guilt (grin).
