Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos
As luck would have it I recently acquired a Wheaton Triplanar VII U2, and am waiting on it being shipped. So at this point I am trying to decide what the most favorable table to mount it on, and what arm gets replaced. I have a SOTA Cosmos Eclipse with a SME V on it, and that would be my preferred place to install it. The only thing is this Triplanar has the arm cable extending out the back of the arm pillar instead of routed out the bottom of it. I have to assume the cable is going to have to be routed on top of the arm board and then over the edge into the body of the Cosmos. Not wild about that but do not see any other options other than drilling a 1/4 hole and routing the cable through it. Anyone have any experiences to share if they have installed it on a SOTA table?
My second alternative is to put the arm on my Scheu in place of a Dynavector DV505 I have. That is certainly a straightforward option, with no issues to be solved. However, I have never been fond of the SME V on the SOTA, so this would be my first choice.
@tomic601 It is great to know that others like yourself, both experimental and curious are able to be discovered in audio forums. Such good to know types are becoming rare, some might say hounded out. Have a look at the Link, this is the future, not all will call it Mycelium, it will get an internal fancy name to make it seem incredibly expensive, as Linn has recently done in their £50K TT, where P'holz is used. Linn are using Product X to add to the Ker Ching.

@lewm I am not a member of the 'fix it with $1000's gang', I'm on the, 'be investigative' and look at what you are doing with the set up, for some that is a harder method than parting with money without much knowledge of what is being bought into . I will usually be on the outside of many a discussion, as the fix is commonly how much monies are to be spent on a unknown product with the chances it has never been an 'in front of experience' by the OP, as well as very likely the recommender as well. In my Country, that as a practice, has a special idiom reserved for such a practice, and it is not, 'waste not want not' that I encourage. |
Most of us regulars would agree with your philosophy. There is not a single element in either of my two systems that has not been modified (hopefully, upgraded) by me, and I totally agree with the vital importance of structural elements. I consider myself somewhat of an audio cheapskate. But who is being hounded, was my question. |
