Triplanar VII tonearm & Koetsu Jade Platinum cart.

HI all

Wow !!! I thot that nobody would reply to my thread, but after 2 days - thks for ALL yr help.

Sorry, if I did not participate interactively as I am based in Beijing, China - so the time zone is a little challenging to be actively discussing this with you guys

On to the subject - I got the Triplanar - brand new - from the dealer in Singapore - and he recommended NOT to use the damping trough - and all his customers had attested to.

Though the Triplanar is brand new, I feel that the manual is not that user friendly and detailed. I must qualify that I am not really a DIY guy, so I will probably "limp" along with this combo with tweaks' help from you.

Currently - to me - the combo sounds fine, but it seems that I will have to tweak some more to get the best out of this combo. Let me absorb what you are suggesting and get back to you.

Pls do not stop to suggest. I would love to continue to get your help

Cheers ... Peter

Hi Dgad

How do you add mass to the Triplanar arm ? Any "special" DIY material ? Is it directly to the headshell or the arm tube (nearer the headshell) ?

Also, I assume that once you add mass - need to add a heavy counter-weight or the reverse (use the smaller counter-weight that Triplanar also provides ?

Look forward to your answer and help

Cheers ... Peter

Hi all

Thks alot for your help, and keep them coming.

If I did not respond to yr help with the results of whatever remedies that you recommended, it is be'cos I am constantly travelling and maybe I will have some time in the near future to try something out

I will perhaps try a penny with some blue tack and see how's it going and report back

Cheers ... Peter
