Analogue synergy

I thought that Brinkmann made tonearms too. Why not them?

I do not see any issue in using the Brinkmann/Tri-P Arm in combination. The Tri is built to be used with any TT on the market. If you have a synergy issue it might be with the Koetsu cartridge which probably is sweet, musical, and a little dark for what already will be a slightly dark sounding arm/table combo. You might want to consider a Lyra, Transfiguration, or Dynavector cart. in your price range. These cartridges are more neutral and more dynamic as well. You have a very nice table and arm. Good luck and enjoy!

Hi Elinor
Thanks for the feedback.When I intially demo the Brinkmann I felt it was faithful to the recording. I value neutral presentation where my system should minimise its impact on the musical presentation.I heard prople say the brinkmann is an analytical presentation. I personally never heard this.
As regards Cartridge selection the Koetsu RS was selected for its musical presentation and also I've never used a Koetsu in my own system before.
I'm looking forward you getting my Analogue rig set-up asap.
My current phonostage is the Whest PS 30R do you feel its up to the task of maximising my Analogue set-up.
Any alternative recommendations?

Although a Koetsu will "work" on a Triplanar and sound good, I get the impression that Koetsu's can sound even better on higher mass tonearms. Koetsu has very low compliance; Triplanar is "medium" mass tonearm. Of course, you can always stick a penny or a wad of gum on the Triplanar headshell to increase its effective mass, instead of finding a whole 'nuther tonearm which might not otherwise be as good as a Triplanar. Seriously, some added mass on the headshell might be a good thing. I think a penny weighs 5 gm. Some prefer blue tac.
