Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos

@neonknight VTF and antiskate not VTA and antiskate. My mistake. 

@pindac That's it! You are an oddball. Glad you figured that out:-) I was getting worried. 

@tomic601 The only person more arrogant than you is me:-)

The lyra has less needle talk because it has a very small stylus and boron cantilever. It puts less reactive energy into the record. It also has a very lightweight stylus mounting system. If you look at the pictures in the link above you can see it easily. The end of the cantilever is forked and the stylus sits in the interspace between the two prongs. My Sonic Lab uses the same supplier. The MC Diamond and the Soundsmith Hyperion, due to the nature of their cantilevers, have the stylus held on to the end of the cantilever with a big glob of cement.  

One of the reasons I like vacuum clamping and the Sota is the vacuum clamping effects on record resonance along with the engineering and construction of the Mat and platter. The other advantage is a flat record and pitch stability. 

@lewm It is not my model. It is my test. Freude schoner gotterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feurertruncken, Himmlischer dein Heiligtum:-)

I wondered IF you noticed that glob of cement….

I for one find @pindac a very interesting audiophile and music lover …. bravo

Has anyone read this review of the Cosmos with TriPlanar arm? The reviewer did not seem to have any issues with the arm. I believe it is the 9.8” version with 250 mm effective length. I bought that Cosmos and I also used a TriPlanar with it. I used a SOTA arm board which brought the base of the tonearm to level with the plinth. I never gave a second thought about the cabling. I thought the Cosmos and TriPlanar sounded good.
