How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Nsgarch, Dougdeacon,This is a great post. This combined with the John Risch article enabled me to explore VTA positions that I would not have ventured to test before. I am now achieving stellar performance. Dougdeacon's advice in setting SRA by li... 
Difference Virtual Dynamics Nite 2 and Master
I have switched from standard Revelation to the Signature and agree with all of Cenline's comments. It killed the standard (>600 hours) in the first hour of play....and the standard Revelation is no slouch. 
Vibraplane
How does the Bright Star Air Mass or Townsend air platforms compare to the Vibrplane?

I heard that Great Northern Sound Co does mods on the EAr phono preamp.Should do wonders to it.

Rick, SirSpeedy,Thanks for your comments on the system. It sounds like a good one! It's good to stay away from the mainstream reviews. they can be decieving and plauged by specific owner system aspects and complications. The reason I like Audiogon...

Rick,You're right, this is a great group of folks and hobby. I think the important thing is that in this leauge of equipment it all sounds pretty good. But then again, we're all a little fanatical and in pusuit of the "best" or "better".I hope you...

Thomas,Bob Graham gets an A+ at recommending his new Phantom B-44 arm. From all reviews and accounts it is a top flight arm. Since you have direct experience with it, the Triplanar 7 and a Schroeder all on an incredible TT, can you give us a first...

A further thought. I keep referring to the adjustment differences between these arms as difficult or easy. The more I think about it, the more this seems like the wrong terminology. Once again, I refer you to Thom's comments earlier in the thread....

I should probably get to sleep already but I wanted to address an obvious question you all probably have based on my previous post since you may detect a contrdiction based on my final choice of the Triplanar. Especially after a comment like "I fo...

Sirspeedy,Although I don't think this is an issue (see below), the one disadvantage in adjusting VTF on a Schroeder is that minor changes in azimuth may arise since they are controlled by the same mechanism. This isn't the case with the Triplanar ... 
Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Sirspeedy,With regard to your first point, Triplanar has now released a Version 2 of the Triplanar VII that has a vernier like gauge on the headsheel/VTA assembly that allows dialing in a specific setting much better. I wish I could attach a pictu...

Tbg, You mentioned that in your evaluations a Schroeder (likely the Dps model) was better and more dynamic than an earlier Triplanar. Do you remember which model Triplanar?Dougdeacon,To put Tbg's comments in perspective, can you shed any additiona...

Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences
Guys,Well I went with the Triplanar-7. I just set up my TT (Acoustic Signature Mambo) with the TP-7 and get this, a 40 doallr Grado! I met my goal. It clearly beats my digital fromt end, which is pretty hot. Much better than I expected. Analog is ...
