Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue
HI PcostaI read about this subject and contacted Tri Mai with this issue last year.I am not the one who drill the holes for the armboard. I am able to get the right S2P by rotating the armboard on the Brinkmann.

I am able to turn the arm board (circle) but not back or forward. I am able to clear the arm rest by turning the armboard but the distance spindle to pivot is off.

Weakest Link? Your honest opinions.
Get the book or DVD " Get Better Sound" by Jim Smith. Read/listen the whole book/DVD.You can be surprise by the result if you follows the tips that Jim Smith provide.The base is always the room and you go from there.

Rainmakers vs Hawk
The Hawk are the best value in the Totem line up. I heard the Rainmaker and I did own in the past the Model 1, Hawk and Mani-2 Signature.The Rainmaker are ok but the Hawk are at another level. 
How important is the tonearm?
I started this tread and I finally bought a new Tri-Planar VII. I considered some more exotic arms like Telea or Reed but decided to go with Tri-Planar, a well respected product made in the USA. Maybe with more experience in analogue,I will give a...
