What Cartridges to use with Triplanar IIV Tonearm?


What cartridges have you used successfully with the Triplanar VII Tonearm? I have heard the ZYX cartridges works well. Do you know of any others?

Thanks.

You must know that the Triplanar is one of the best tonearms in the here and now. All top cartridges will be absolutely appropriate
My Tri-Planar VII works great on a Kuzma Reference table with an Air Tight PC-1. I also used an ZYX UNIverse with the same combo and loved it.
Stringreen gets it right ...

Know that the Disovery Cable tonearm wire goes through a break-in process, and I'm not sure how long this takes, as I accelerate this by running a line level signal for 72 hours - through all of the Triplanars passing through me.

Before break-in, you'll hear the slightest bit of top end sizzle. It's very slight, and depending on the bandwidth of the rest of your system, it might not be apparent. If you do hear it however, do not get dissouraged. It will smooth out and have marvelous, extended highs.

If you want to accelerate the process, you can rig something up like what is shown here:

Don't blame the messenger, know that you have a broad range of fine cartridges to choose from (some of which are mentioned above), and know that your turntable will influence the final results.

We all have our favorite cartridges - selected in part due to our matching components, and of course, consistent with our taste. The hierarchy still applies ('table, then arm, then cartridge). IOW, a lesser 'table will compromise your arm and cartridge.

FWIW,in the latest Absolute Sound,Harry Pearson proclaims the Triplanar/ Myabi cartridge combo as "really special"!I believe a review is in the works,which can mean in a year,from past "promises"!
Good luck
