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!!!

This is a very sensitive subject matter. Despite of this my advice is

to compare both arms with ''tracking ability'' test record(s). My Triplanar

can't track anything above 50 Mirons. Syntax mentioned  the problem

with ''energy  transfer'' by Triplanar. It may be the case

that my sample is defective but I was not able to find anything

wrong. Anyway carts which track 70 microns with my FR-64 s can't

track more than 50 microns with the Triplanar. I am sure that your

Micro is better in this regard.

Hi cleeds, Your quotation is selective. I also stated ''My Triplanar

can't track anything above 50 Microns''. You should try whatever

cart you like and if any of them get more then 50 microns I will

accept your denial.

Hi cleeds, You are avoiding my question. My question was if

any of your carts can track more than 50 microns with your

Triplanar?  Your question if MY Triplanar was new or second

hand has nothing to do with my question. My assumption is that

because of the energy transfer problem by Triplanar (pace Syntax)

this arm resonate by 60 microns trackabilty test and skeeps the

grooves at this ''obstacle''.  I asked the same question in the

Triplanar thread but got no answer whatever.

cleeds, You are repeating my question without any answer because

your ''suspition'' does not answer anything. I stated my own ''suspition'' but about my own Triplanar and asked other owners if their Triplanar  has the same, say, deviation. To satify your curiosity my Triplanar VII  was brand new when purchased as

was/is my Reed 3P but not my FR-64 S which track better than other two despite the fact that it was second hand. The involved properties are all of the physical nature  so no mystery should be involved.
