Stringgreen i agree with your post above. Thats why i am very happy with the lever tied up on my Triplaner. The thread slips through the hole in the lever with out any problems. I am getting increased holograph sounds with much more upper frequency delivery with absolutely no distortion or surface noise. I have my Universe mounted all the way out on the shell using my Wally Universal for setup. I am getting more effective length this way which is helping the need for AS.
Going from my old VPI 10.5 which had no active AS incorporated to Triplaner which has is kind of backwards. 10.5 could not come close to tracking like Triplaner yet Triplaner without AS is a tracking wonder not distorting in the lest bit. And as we all know the supplied weight is almost 5 grams i believe. When i was experimenting with AS i used brass washers and nuts no where near the weight of the stock TP weight. This is one of the hands on things with vinyl playback that i love. Cant get this kind of action playing digital thats for sure.
