Whats the difference between Tri-Orb Lite (TOL) reference-grade (RG) and standard-grade (SG)?
Pictured above and below are the intrinsic features of RG TOLs (above left), SG TOLs (above right) and Tri-Orb Heavys (below left). The solid gray iron Coulomb cones are identical on all Tri-Orb models. RG TOLs come with high-density tungsten carbide balls (grade 3), perforated [stress-relieved] and hand-lapped hyperbolic three-saucer section (pictured below right), a suspended cork and felt stacked cylinder, cancellation-tuned brass decoupled [floating] spring-mass block (pictured above left, center brass cylinder), and an intricately knurled and machined 3-inch diameter base housing with three felt padded [inset machined] chrome steel ball feet. The SG TOLs include hardened chrome-steel balls (grade 25), incorporate a solid [one-piece] three-saucer cylinder (pictured above left) and, instead of a cancellation-tuned decoupled brass weight, use an exclusive [gravity activated] vertical Coulomb rod to create a one-way, vibration releasing path to ground. This same type of vibration rele
