Triplanar vs JMW 12.5 on TNT 6

I use the Wheaton on my TNT-6 Hotrod with a Helikon SL. An incredible combination. I can't imagine better sound
without spending what a new car would cost.

Remember,if you chose a 12.5 inch arm,you are increasing the effective mass,which may not help,as compared to the Triplaner's shorter dimensions.

Sirspeedy, please elaborateyour post. I am very interested as I am getting a Wheaton for a TNT6. Thanks

Sirspeedy,

Are you sure you didn't mean effective length? The Triplanar has an effective mass of 11 grams and the VPI 12.5 an effective mass of 11.2 grams. Not much of a difference. The VPI 12.6 has an effective mass of 10.1 grams. Also, not that different from the Triplanar.

Now if you are talking effective length, the Triplanar is 250mm and the 12.5 and 12.6 are 315mm - a significant difference.

It is true that the diff. here is not great.Mass wise.Take a look at the Galibier website,he makes mention of the fact,in his opinion,that the longer lengths are not really much advantage.I'm not trying to create any contoversy.Both options are OK with me,but Galibier's site,and regarding the fabulously interesting Schroeder arm,has some prevelent points.Good luck!
