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.

Dear cleeds, ''Your arm sounds defective'' is a curious statement.

I am not aware that you listened to my arm. But if you performed

tracking ability test and your Triplanar got more than 50 microns

''pure'' I will need to agree that my Triplanar is defective.

Elinor, ''any record'' should imply also ''test records''. But test

records with ''tracking capability'' are made in order to show by

which value (aka ''microns'') the arm /cart combo will start to

mistrack. It is very curious that nobody is willing to try the same

experiment which is very simple to repeat. Fear?

What you've described sounds like your arm is defective, although it could also be a setup problem. I don't know why you think that's "curious." Why you should think that the way my pickup arm performs has any relationship to whether your arm is defective or not is quite curious, however.

I don't own a Triplanar, btw. But you should be getting better performance from your arm than what you relate here. It's apparently under warranty - why not take advantage of that??


Dear cleeds, This is called ''testimonium paupertatis''  in old

good latin. You don't even own the Triplanar but you pretend

to know better than those who know what they are talking about.

I assume that this is the influence of the Mexican. In empirical

science no proof would be even considered without provision of

repertory and controlable experiments. So I am  still waiting for

someone who checked my statement not by speculation but by

testing his Triplanar with tracking ability test. What is curious is

the fact that I need to wait so long.

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
