So are you saying I should be able to pull a ristretto shot with a triple basket at 11+ bar? Have you tried it? I'm not saying its impossible, but my 'mano' is not up to the task.

Triple basket Ristretto at 11+ bar has all the intensity knobs turned up beyond fully. Coffees I use would just rip your mouth out here. Set your OPV to around 9 bar for normal double, then start over to dial in the coffee with normal doubles at 9 bar 14-17gram dose range. If you haven't replaced the standard Silvia double basket, do so.

Frost, thanks for your weigh in. This is exactly my intention and why I made this thread. I was looking for instructions for how to go about doing this adjustment; build pressure meter, etc. I think I have a plan organized. Thanks all.
