RE: The 12" Triplanar is like the last word...

That stock turntable does extremely well!

There was no practical way to do a direct comparison between the arms, which was really what this was about.

But the stock arm has three problem areas: the bearings are in the plane of the arm tube rather than the LP surface, the arm tube is not damped and the bearings are not hard enough. These issues are all addressed by the Triplanar. Additionally, the 12" arm simply has lower skating forces and less tracking error.

Having recorded and cut my own LPs, I can tell you that the Triplanar really does get things right. IMO it is the state of the art in tone arms.
