"Its ability to extract the optimum performance from the cartridge so readily constitutes a real head start in this particular arms race....

So unobtrusive is the signature of the Tri-Planar that it seems almost disingenuous to discuss its sound. It makes more sense to discuss the absence of sound: the way it allows musical dynamics, energy, and colour to expand unimpeded into a wonderfully transparent soundstage....

The Tri-Planar allows the music to happen in such dynamic and rhythmic freedom that the structure is never in doubt, the music never less than dramatic. In this respect it easily matches the overall coherence of the best parallel trackers....

With all these shiny new toys vying for your attention, why should you buy a design that's knocking on 30 years old? Because this is categorically the best pivoted tone-arm that I've ever used."
