Triplanar vii - upgrade tonearm and ic wiring

Ralph, Do you really think the "old" wire interfered with tracking? That would have to mean also that the path of the wire through the arm wand and then down to the outputs via the vertical path, puts the wire in a position to interfere with the bearing action. I just don't see how that could occur.

Hard to say- the Triplanar with the old wire was already the best radial tracking arm made. But the difference in stiffness of the two wires is easy to see. So if the arm is able to move more freely it must also be able to work better. Such things seem like they are subtle, but after the update it seems that the presentation is more clear. I was never able to get the old arm to mis-track.

I must say the new arm tube is nice too although the 'classic' arm tube again works just fine.

Ralph,

Do you know if a wire upgrade is being offered for existing Triplanars?

I started this thread to see if there was something out there that people were using wire wise to take their arm to another level.

Cable manufacters want you to feel you could have even more dynamics and resolution

I dont see that type of response

Like Jmcgrogan2 suggests - sit back and enjoy the music

Thanks all

The enemy of good is better.

Cable is certainly important no question about that. And that means cable everywhere including the wires inside components. I recently replaced the Cardas wiring inside my Siggwan tonearm with 1877 Phono wire. The new wire is still breaking in but so far it is a nice improvement over the Cardas. I had previously changed the RCA plugs on the tonearm wires from KLE Copper Harmony to KLE Absolute silver plugs. The RCA connector change alone was an important upgrade, but the wiring is equally important.
