Triplanar vii - upgrade tonearm and ic wiring

I have a triplanar vii
Gavia Galibier table, Zyx Universe cartridge, Doshi Aalap preamp

It sounds fabulous, very revealing and tonally balanced

Are there upgrade options that take the sound even farther?

Or should I leave a great thing alone

Some time ago I sent my VIIuii in to have the cueing mechanism repaired. While it was there, Tri radiused my headshell, gratis, rounding the right angles. I thought the change improved the sound, making the highs a bit more resolving.

I seem to recall from a year or two ago Tri mentioning to me at a show something about reducing resonance in the headshell.

Yep - the front corners of the headshell now are radiused instead of squared off.

Is the triplaner an 12" arm?

Sal....I would call Musical Surroundings directly and get the trade for your LP to the LPS. They tell me they still have them.
