Triplanar VII tonearm & Koetsu Jade Platinum cart.

Thanks Feil , Dgad,

Yeah , I actually had forgotten about the Dyna. That
is another that I had heard was a good match. Dgad, a
little confused here though. Dynavector lists the weight
of their arm at 1380 grams on their website. I am not
much the tech type,nor have I adapted to the metric system.
You said an arm over 28 grams ideally. Where would that
leave the 507-2 if in fact it's net weight is 1,380 grams.
I may look stupid here, but am just reading off their website.

Hi Doug, girl and boys,

I am breaking in my new Jade mounted on my Vector 3.
I am pleased, but feeling that there is more to extract
from the Jade. I am considering the Phantom. Could you
tell me which tonearm or tonearms you would consider
for the Jade. It is 13.1 grams according to AS website.
So far in my research, the only ones that have come up
as good matches are the Davinci swiss arms and the
Graham Phantom. The Davinci's are a little beyond my budget anyway. I feel like a hijacker, but I would think any comments may closely apply to Peter's initial thread.

I spoke with someone today who has alot of experience with
the Koetsu stone bodied cartridges. He basically said that
there is more to matching the Jade than mating it w/ a high mass arm. He stressed that energy dissipation was important, because the stones give off more energy than their lighter counterparts. This energy than travels through the arm. He felt an arm that would do a great job of releasing or dissipating this energy would be the SME 5. He did concur that the SME had a warmer balance than most arms. However, still felt it would bring out better highs and deeper bass.
