Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"

Dear @whatthe : Well that's a pivot tonearm design that runs in true tangential way with all its advantages because the tracking error ialmost disappeared as the necessity of antiskating.

@downunder that's an owner and a true audiophile can chime here about.

Here you can read about:

So you don't have to worry if you choose between Löfgren A or B or Stevenson for the cartridge/tonearm alignment.

You don't have to worry about higher distortions at inner grooves.

That " unexistent " tracking error means  lower distortion levels and higher MUSIC information that means higher MUSIC enjoyment.

Pivoted tonearms designs are well know for better bass range quality performance against the tangential tonearm designs and with the Thales you don't lost this important advantage. Yes, it's a true tonearm evolution. Has the best of both tonearm worlds ! !

How’s it compare to the Schröder ST tonearm?

@whatthe :   Both are pivoted and runs tangentially, so what can makes a differences?

The different build materials used overall and excecution quality level of the designs. The only way to compare in between is to have both mounted in the same system with the same cartridges.

Btw, it's LT not ST ( I think ? ? ? ).
