Need advice from Triplanar mk.7 owners

recommend you contact member Dougdeacn our resident Tri-P expert, but that sure does not look right to me.

FWIW, my Triplanar is "off" but not to the same extent as yours. I mean, I can see with my naked eye that things are slightly tilted outward as is yours. Just not tilted as far as yours.
I'm not sure that it makes any difference in sound as long as you can get sufficient tilt to get az correct. It comes down to how much space is left on either side of the little post that sticks up on the arm and where the stops lay with this tilt. Maybe Doug or Thom will have a different take.

As for the HF test record. Just put that LP back on the shelf and forget about it for AS. Your results are pretty typical, and many have found setting AS with the test tracks is pretty useless. Just listen for mistracking in the right channel.

Dan_ed,

Thanks for reply. What puzzles me that on fotos I found in the net that base looks exactly vertically aligned. No idea whatsofar.....

Hi, Mine is like Dan_ed's. Slight tilted outward.

The arm looks normal to me, though the user obviously hasn't centered the azimuth adjustment.

The first photo (when maximized on screen) clearly shows that the pin is adjusted to a position that's WAY anti-clockwise from vertical.

The threads on the adjusting screw are skewed in the same direction. It would be odd if they were otherwise. If the adjustment were changed to make the pin more nearly vertical, the threads would be more even (necessarily).

If this is really where the OP's setup needs to be for proper azimuth, which I doubt, the problem is with the cartridge, not the tonearm.

The antiskate tracks on the HiFi News LP are not tests you're trying to pass. They're SUPPOSED to create R channel distortion. Adjusting your rig to eliminate that distortion (if you could) would result in FAR too much AS and VTF.

The best use for that LP is as a Frisbee, preferably one that you throw once and never find again. Learn to adjust your rig by listening to the music you play, not with poorly designed test records that contain amplitudes your rig will rarely if ever experience with real music.
