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.

@nadric, just to be clear, I had absolutely NOTHING to do with getting your posts removed.

To my ears, my Tri-Planar does not mistrack when playing music albums

I don’t care if my Tri-Planar can track 50 microns on a test record

I have no interest in the Higgs particle

I do not like looking up Latin phrases when simple English will suffice

I am interested in learning more about Tri-Planar SE Upgrade

Back to our regularly scheduled programming ...

Nandric,

"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've had (several) cartridges that need different anti-skating settings in different arms. I don't think that is a sign of a defective arm. Tuning anti-skate is a necessary condition for set up - although I know there are those that don't advocate it. I've also had cartridges that needed an anti-skate force that was less of more than the recommendation. I don't worry.

One can also adjust the damping in the Tri-P. What is the recommended order of setting this in the Tri-P arm? I find this a big advantage with some cartridges like the cantilever-less Ikeda. What is your experience? Since I regretfully sold my FR-64(s) what are do you recommend with those wonderful cartridge?

Search for Vinyl Aysulm for more specs on the arms - their significant parameters should be listed there.

I would call the manufacturer.  They seem very approachable.
