Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please...


I am starting to think of trying a T3PRO tonearm, and would appreciate comments from you who encountered it. I am really happy with my current analog setup, but have never tried a linear tonearm...some of my concerns are the noise the pump potentially makes - what type of pump do you use in USA (Vic can only supply 220V) and is the tonearm tricky to setup and maintain in 'perfect setup'? Is it very 'tweaky' (I do like tweaking to a certain extent)? Do you think the VTA digital display is worthwhile? Which cable option did you opt for (I am thinking the cart-RCA silver wiring)?

If you own it - which tonearms have you compared it to?

Any special setup/tweak advise with regards to this tonearm?

Many thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts on T3PRO and have a GREAT one!

I agree with all said above. I have never read a negative report on the TRANS-FI.
You can tweek as much as your OCD urges need. I use 2 of Tomahawks with silver leads to phono amp, to make changes faster. Can be dialed in in 15 minutes. Take a look at Dgarretson's system page to see some of his mods.

Vic is a pleasure to work with. He sent me an adaptor free, 2 years after I installed the arm.
