About the Tri-Planar MkII
The Wheaton Tri-Planar MkII is a precision tonearm designed and handcrafted by Herbert Papier starting in 1981. It features a unique dual-pivot design allowing maximum adjustability and watch-like precision in three planes of tonearm geometry: vertical bearing alignment relative to the record surface, vertical tracking angle (VTA), and azimuth adjustment. The arm is known for its superb quality bearings, low friction, and extensive adjustability including tracking force, azimuth, damping, and height. It was one of the first conventional tonearms to reach a price point and remains highly regarded for its mechanical precision and sound performance.
