Triplanar Question??

Ralph,

I'm not sure what you mean by setting A/S the same level as tracking force. The TriPlanar has no dial for A/S or VTF. Can you elaborate?

Doug

P.S. I agree about tracking in general. Our copy of 'Trio' (Parton, Harris, Ronstadt) has a nasty double pinch warp. Neither a (low hours) Transfiguration Orpheus nor a (well broken in) Ortofon Jubilee can stay in those grooves. They literally jumped off the record. The UNIverse not only tracks it cleanly, there's no audible hitch when it passes over the warp. :-)

Yes, please do elaborate Ralph. Your statement is a bit confusing to me.

I set the antiskating weight so that the outside edge is lined up just shy of the the second mark, since I'm tracking very nearly 2 grams. It seems to work OK. Near the end of a blank LP, it holds its own.

Now that I look at it though, I can't say for sure that that is what the marks mean :)

Thanks Atmasphere, that what i was looking for, approxiamate positioning. Much appreciated!!

Ralph,

If you're using a UNIverse/TriPlanar, do yourself a favor and try the O-rings method instead of the metal weight (as linked in my first response above).

Assuming you've got VTF set right (just a couple hundredths of a gram above mistracking) reducing antiskate will sound like a component upgrade, seriously.
