Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue

Acadie,
You might be good at setting up tables, but most people spending anything approaching what you did deserve and expect better service from the dealer.

I learn not to depend on a dealer to set up your analogue several years ago.

It's obvious you haven't found a capable dealer. See my comment above.

The issue has nothing to do with my dealer.

He always offered to set up my cartriges/arm/table over the years,even driving to my house to do so (the shop is approx 100 miles from where I live). But I decided that I had to learn how to do it myself.

It is a must to learn how to set up a turntable for someone to wants to be in analogue. With time, I became pretty good at it.

My issue has nothing to do on how to set up a table, I think it has more to do with the drilling of the armboard for the Tri-Planar.

I don't think there is anything wrong to be able to do it yourself.

As for service from my dealer, he always deliver to my door any equipment I will buy from him and help to set up (if it is heavy).

This may be your problem. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/tri-planar-tonearm-owner-alert

HI Pcosta

I read about this subject and contacted Tri Mai with this issue last year.

I am not the one who drill the holes for the armboard. I am able to get the right S2P by rotating the armboard on the Brinkmann.

Then you shouldn't have a problem getting the pivot to spindle right by doing what Atmashphere wrote and rotating your armboard.
