... carts which track 70 microns with my FR-64 s can't track more than 50 microns with the Triplanar ...These two arms each have a very different effective mass, with the Fidelity Research being much higher than the Triplanar. So I wouldn't expect a cartridge that tracks well in one to track equally well in the other.
Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII
I have both of these arms and was considering selling the Micro Seiki, I have read some good things about it. It just doesn't get that much play these days. I don't need to sell it but as I said it doesn't get much play and maybe someone else could enjoy it. I can't see putting a expensive cartridge on it to compare it to my triplanar/Sotto Voce cartridge setup just for the sake of knowing so any insight would be appreciated!!!

nandric ... I also stated ''My Triplanar can't track anything above 50 Microns ... If you're stating that the Triplanar's tracking is easily bested by the FR regardless of cartridge, then I have to wonder about the state of your Triplanar. Did you buy it used? |
nandric Hi cleeds, You are avoiding my question. My question was if any of your carts can track more than 50 microns with your Triplanar? I'm not avoiding anything. You've never asked me that question. Please get your facts straight. I don't personally own a Triplanar. But if you're stating that the Triplanar's tracking is easily
bested by the FR regardless of cartridge, then I have to wonder about
the state of your Triplanar. I do have experience with the Triplanar, although it was a much earlier version than the present model. It was an extraordinary tracker. Hence my suspicion that your Triplanar was purchased used and may be damaged. I understand that you think that has nothing to do with it, but it has everything to do with it. If you're using a pickup arm of unknown origin and/or condition, then nothing you conclude about its performance is valid ... except that your shrouded-in-mystery Triplanar doesn't track especially well. |
