Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"


Contemplating  sending my Tri-Planar Vll back to Tri Mai for his "SE Upgrade". Essentially, same carbon fiber wand and internal silver wire and leads used in his 12" U12 arm. Anybody done the dirty deed?  If so, better, worse or pretty much the same. 

I've only seen one post on the subject and that person seemed more than happy.

Thanks to anyone who responds with personal experience.  No conjecture please.

Raul,

Each post is an opportunity to learn. I have followed your posts and have learned some useful info. I have also followed Ralphs' posts and he too shares a lot of useful info.

IMHO; You need to Learn and Think on it.

For two years, I thought and learned about the Technics SL1200G and other tonearms. I saved my nickels and finally decided to ask Ralph to mod the Technics with a Triplanar tonearm for me. I did not become aware that Ralph and Tri were friends until months went by and I kept wanting to send Ralph and Tri some money. That's when I learned that they shared the same business address. Both Ralph and Tri would not take any money until the TT / tonearm was ready.

You are the one who is upset with Ralph. Myself and many others are thankful for Ralphs' contributions to this Forum.  Your posts are also appreciated.

Raul,

You called me out on a thread and said #@%$  that I would never know how good the stock arm is. Wrong !  You thought that I needed to rewire the tonearm with your recommended wire, that I needed to waste my money on multiple headshells. That I needed to do this and waste a lot of time critically listening to all these tweaks to gain the knowledge and only then could I be sure that a better tonearm would elevate the stock Technics to a new level. WRONG !!

I have now had my Technics / Triplanar rig for months and am sure that it was the right decision. Following your advice would have wasted a lot of time and money.

Dear Raul,

I do not see anyone joining you in calling out Ralph. Learn and Think on it already. Your advice is Not the last word on anything. Again, your thoughts and advice would have cost me time and money.


So; Raul at this time I see you as a pompous a** whose ( knowledge ? ) would have cost me, Not benefited me.

Dear Raul,

Learn and Think on it.  Maybe take a course in English and writing. Then and only then will you be able to clearly get your points across without appearing to be a snobbish pompous A**.
