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.

Raulirugas I saw your post about the Thales statement. Could you please explain why you feel it is a “true evolution” in pivotal tonearms?

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 ! !
