Replacing stock tonearm cable

I agree with TWL's recommendation.

BTW, I think where TWL is coming from is that the Tri-Planer is a high quality arm, that "should" come with a high quality cable. (Perhaps not the very best, but certainly something that is not easily, or cheaply beaten).

I think the thread question you should have posed was:

"Are there any Tri-Planer owners out there that have upgraded their stock cable? And if so, what cable did you upgrade to, and what was the resulting sound like?"

Most of us are merely answering based upon our past experiences with our tonearm cables, and not necessarily with the Tri-Planer cable.

By the way, NICE SCORE on the equipment. I am jeolous!

Richardmr, I think that you're right about many different things being able to make a sonic difference in the system. It's hard to know what will be best. However, in many cases, what is best for me might not be best for you, due to certain synergy considerations.

Therefore, I mentioned the recommendation of "don't season your food before you taste it". I think it makes sense to see what you've got before you change it. Not all changes are upgrades.

FWIW, I think that Discovery tonearm cables are used by many high end tonearm makers, and they are quite good. But they may not be better than what came in your arm. At the level of a Tri-planar, you are getting one of the best arms in the business. It's a good bet that there are some very nice wires in there, in stock form.

Thanks, guys. By the way, anyone heard a Zeus? The 150 monoblocks I'm getting mimic the circuitry of the Zeus.

I find it very frustrating myself that someone would feel compelled to change wires in an arm of that quality. What a strange hobby this is.

....leave the wires alone........

BTW, I discovered the Tri-Planar tonearm cable is Cardas. Thanks.
