Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1


Hello all, especially Doug Deacon

Well,,,,,, my Atma-Sphere MP-1 mklll has just arrived. much joy. Now I need to reterminate my RCA out from the Triplanar to a balanced out.

I am a competent solderer.

All suggestions and hints welcome

Hi all, I am reluctant to mess with the fine made RCA connectors by Tri but I like to try 'balanced' because I
own the Basis Exclusive with both possibilitys. So there is
the shield on both (L&R) sides. The advice is to connect the shield to the pin 1. But there is also a separate ground wire. The question: is the shield connected to the arm-mass? If so what to do with the ground-wire?

Regards,
Dear Atmashere and Tpsonic, I am thankful for the advice but,alas,I am not capable to move in the opposite direction at the same time. Something that according to physics and logic is not possible. So I still have no idea
what to connect to pin 1: according to Atmasphere both(the shield as well as the ground wire);according to Tpsonic only the ground wire. But I still dont know which of all
are connected to the arm-mass.The shield or the ground-wire or both? Then,you see,I will know what to connect to
pin 1.
BTW I think I should look for a different hobby.

Dear Lewm,Not everyone is as fearless as you are.But if I blow up my loudspeakers (those are my 'babys') I will kill myself or be killed by flying pieces of beryllium.I own the
Usher BE-20. So this hobby of my is literally toxic and, regarding my bank-account,also insane.
But if your Triplanar is also 'model' VII then I know what to do.
'Interesting',to use your expression,the former model VI(?)
has visible shield connection with the arm-mass.
Thanks and regards,
Dear Lewm, You underrate my Usher BE-20 because they also
'possess' an beryllium 'mid-speaker' and not only.as you suggest, the tweeter. I payd 17.000 Euro for the 'babys' and want everyone to know. According to me you own the
'old' Triplanar VI(?) because I also had this 'model' and
know about the 'shield-connection' to the arm-mass. But because you are in the USA and I in Europa I am not scare of you. Sadly I am not totaly sure about that.In any case I will not mess with the ground-wire because I have bad experience with connection to the pre-ground.
But I was more scared by the proposal of Jb0194. Say 'adding up' solution. I own Emitter II Exclusive + Basis Exclusive + transformers + batterys. In my living-space there is a kind of German artillery situated and I
really think that I have some right for some space for myself. So sorry Jb0194. I know you mean well but there are
limits even for an HI-FI nuts.

Dear Lewn, You are right,as usual,but this time on logical
ground: if the assumptions are 'wrong' then no deduction how ingenieus made will do. I live in the Netherlands with 50 Hz mains frequency. So your primary assumption was right.BTW are you implying that I will,then,blow up 'only'
my bass-speakers but stay alive because there is no danger
from my beryllium -units? (kidding).
