Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence

Raul,I am perplexed as to why I cannot receive E-mails,as my screen name is my business website address.Trust me I would not have come up with Sirspeedy.Something like "topspin" or "baldguy"(my daughter can't get off that one) serves me best.Actually my audio pal who reads my threads likes to call me(and I admit it is probably accurate,unfortunately)"bloviator"!What can I say?Guess I can't help myself.I appologize to those my rediculous thread lengths,and sometimes over the top conclusions annoy.C'mon,you know you're out there!

As I'm really NO computer guy,or keyboardist,I guess I need your E-mail address.What is it/where do I find it?

BTW-Raul,

If this is in response to my ZYX Univ statement--No I was not serious,and YES,I think it could be "that great".The guys "high" on it have been around the block,a few times.Give them the benefit of the doubt,as I(actually do) with regards to Gmorris's Phantom comments,not the gratuity inference;and I'm sorry for reacting so negatively towards you -Gmorris.I have no animosity at all!!Just a bit of a big mouth!I always feel bad,a couple of days after a "little disagreement" with another,usually well intentioned music lover.Sorry!

Divo,

We've tried using the TriPlanar's damping mechanism with four or five different cartridges. Without exception we've preferred the sound without any damping. I cleaned the trough out months ago (it was collecting cat hairs!) and it's been dry ever since.

Dear Sirspeedy: No, it's not for the old ZYX subject.
My e-mail: rauliruegas@hotmail.com

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

I am a lucky guy with a bit of money to spend on what people say. Some said that it was good to have a neutral arm to go along with a "romantic cartridge", so I took the advice and I went for Graham 2.2 with Koetsu Urushi first and now with Rosewood Platinum Sig. At certain point in time, I came across HP's recommendation and decided to go along with Triplanar 7 with Miyabi 47lab cartridge. Reluctantly to discard one arm after another followed by the decision I had made, I mounted both of them on a Nottingham turntable.

It comes the phono stage. I have had Black cube, EAR 834P, AudioResearch Reference Phono, 47lab Phonocube with dual power supply, TomEvan The Groove, and the Whest. I spent a lot time tweaking and pairing each of these phono stage with the arm/cartridge combinations.

I settled down finally with Koetsu to go along with Whest or 47Lab phono stage and Miyabi with The Groove. I found both combinations equally and highly musical involving. My problem is it is very hard for me to switch from one combination to the other every time after i get to listen to either of them.

There is no maintenance on either of the arms. They are both great arms! It just depends on the synergy of the system which you put up.

The rest of my system consists of The CAT Ultimate Preamp runs into the mono block of McIntosh 275. They drive the Avalon Ediolon speakers. My digital fronts are the Burmester 969/970 combo.
