Triplanar Question??

Hi there,
I am searching around to see if I can get some advice on where to approxiamately place the anti-skate weight on the bar when in use with a ZYX Universe cartridge.

Is this just something I have to experiment with or have folks found the right place to set the weight in order to track correctly? Any light shed on this subject would be most helpful.

Cheers,
Peter

I have a Triplanar Mk7 with the Universe Copper. I set the anti-skate at the same level as the tracking force.

I found the VTA setting to be critical to really wake things up.

The combination is quite good! Records I thought were slightly worn now play fine; records I thought had noise are a lot quieter. I never wonder 'is that setup going to track this record?' or anything remotely like it- the combination tracks anything I've been able to find with ease. Really fun!

I set the antiskating weight so that the outside edge is lined up just shy of the the second mark, since I'm tracking very nearly 2 grams. It seems to work OK. Near the end of a blank LP, it holds its own.

Now that I look at it though, I can't say for sure that that is what the marks mean :)
