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: http://www.galibierdesign.com//phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80. 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. Cheers, Thom |
in the latest Absolute Sound,Harry Pearson proclaims the Triplanar / Miyabi cartridge combo as "really special" Yes, it is magic |
Thanks for your feedback. I am reletively new to Analog and I would like to start with a less expensive cartridge and then upgrade to one of the top ones. I have heard a lot about Shelter Cartridges, for example the 501. Are there any cartridges in the $750-$1500 range that would work well with Triplanar arm? What about Ortofon cartridges? Thanks. |
