Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1

I can change them easily myself.

What are the best connectors for me to use?.

Do I want gold plated?, etc.

Specifically: which pin is 1, 2, 3?.

Which colour goes to which pin?.

Thank you all.

I have built enough RCA cables to be proficient at that, but, balanced is a whole new ball game, especially coming from the tonearm. I think sending the tonearm back would be best.

I will likely buy some balanced cables here on Audiogon. I am leaning towards the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference ll, any comments or recommendations?.

I will now position my MA-1 Silver amps behind the speakers, but will need to build my own balanced cables. I already have DH Labs BL-Ag shielded cable, and Vampire gold plated balanced connectors. Should both lengths be equal, or can one cable be longer. Any comments?.

Tom, thank you for joining us. I once had a Teres 360 (very few made), it was too soft for me, so I sold it. Next year I will be looking at a new table (presently using a J.A. Michell Gyrodec, highly modified), chances are the new table will be one of your incarnations. This year I have purchased the Tri, a Universe copper, and now the Atma-Sphere MP-1, budget spent.

Raul, I have always enjoyed your points of view, you hold nothing back, your as anal as I am, LOL.

Do any of you know Frank Schroeder personally?. When I purchased my Teres, the DPS that came with it was broken (string). I sent it back, 4 years ago, and have still not received it back. If you could put in a good word for me, that would be much appreciated.

Next weekend I am going to Montreal. Am hoping to hear the new Tenor amp, just a wee bit out of my price range, but still excited.

I have a seperate ground wire coming from this box. It could have been spliced to offer two length's?, I think.

This is a moot point since I have now spoken with Mr. Mai, and he will gladly do the mod for a minor fee.

Hello Lewm, I had to read your post twice. I have the newest version of the Tri. After the junction box, we now have two shielded cables coming out. Each one is fitted with the Male RCA. I realise there may have been a time when seperate cables where needed. This is no longer the case. The tonearm connects directly to the pre or phono pre (while I was using the Tom evans groove). No extra cables needed.

I have reread the previous posts. I now see why there where a few different ideas. Some people did not realise the cable is already terminated with male.

The installation of balanced cable ends would not be difficult at all. The only dilema I am faced with is I have no shrink wrap. This makes the installation look less professional.
