Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"

Nice. I had the Tri-planer on a Fickert Blackbird table. Love their cartridges. I was using the Zesto Audio phono stage. Love that as well. 

That's a terrific cartridge.

What is the rest of your system? How is your cartridge loaded? Gain?

I'm not unhappy with my TP though I've always felt the Discovery wiring was a weakness. Tried some of their "better" cables in the past and didn't care for them. 

I hate the idea of making two changes at the same time, wire and wand, so I've decided to just go with the silver wiring harness from cartridge clips to XLR's going into my Atma-Sphere MP-1's phono.

It would be interesting to go with a short pigtail and be able to experiment with other cables but I talked to Tri and he assured me that he's using good quality silver wire so why have another break in the chain.

Down the road, if I read several posts extolling the virtues of the new carbon fiber arm tube on the 10", then I might go for it. 

I'm guessing there are a few of us wondering about the "upgrades" so once I get my arm back and have a chance to listen, I'll report back with my "opinion".  

My cartridge is an XV-1s. These days it may not be as trendy as the newest, latest and greatest but it mates well with the TP and it gets the job done.

Curious what cartridge you are using?

I have thought of it but haven't acted. I'd love to know how it comes out if you do itl
