Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"
nandric... I bought the Triplanar VII new in the USA ...Your arm sounds defective. If you purchased it new, it's surely covered under warranty. It should be returned to your dealer for service or replacement.

blang11Im curious why the original poster and another commenter feel they "wouldn't enjoy" selling on Agon or "don't feel comfortable". Why not? Is it a fear of not getting paid? I've had nothing but positive encounters with folks in this "com... 
Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"
nandricSpeaking about Triplanar weakness. My Triplanar VII ''refused'' to track anything above 50 microns on my test record ...That's odd - the arm sounds defective. Did you buy it used?  
If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy?

Bryston Bit 15
baxman ... if it raises the voltage by even 5 or 6 volts I wouldn't feel comfortable ...I'm not sure why you fear this. As I stated, the voltage out is essentially the same as the voltage in.  
Bryston Bit 15

Quality of outlet not directly powering equipment important?
longplayerIf at all possible, install 30A dedicated lines for your audio system.Installing 30A lines creates quite a nuisance because to do it and also be compliant with code means you'll need to install 30A receptacles. That means you'll need to...
