Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way

I got back into vinyl in the very early 2000's. Great time for buying records after buying into the perfect sound forever in the 80's. Sometime later I bought my Teres 340, which was a far reach in my pocket. Since i spent all the $$$ on a good TT, I had to buy a temporary  tonearm. Enter the Origin Live Illustrious 3. However that was 12-14 yrs ago . The TT sounds so good that I just upgraded other parts of the system without thought to the tonearm.

I have been on the hunt for a tonearm for about 6 months now. I finally pulled the trigger on a TriPlanar Mk Vii which  was just updated to the latest specs. it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully this will be the final piece of a puzzle which has taken a long time.

That said, many tweaks have been done previously to the system and more to go. My system has never sounded better. But I suspect the TriPlanar will take it up even further. But I still great respect for the OL arms

Dear @artemus_5 : You already know that when we change the cartridge or the tonearm several " things " will be different, I can’t say better in your system because I never listened it and because I don’t know if the new tonearm just mates better to your ZYX and because I don’t know which are your MUSIC/sound priorities other that you like tubes.

 

When we buy a new audio item our expectations are high and I hope that after one or two months your room/system fulfill your today expectations .

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

R.
