A question for Graham owners

Hello guys,

I'm going to buy a Graham Phantom arm but I have had a very good offer over a preowned Graham 2.2t/c in mint conditions.
I have read the Stereophile review about the Phantom with inside the comparisons with the 2.2t
Well .. we know the use of the MintLP Best Tractor can reduce the difference (gap) between the two arms.. surely more than using the Graham Jig on both , like the reviewer did.
Now the question : Anyone here has been able to verify the difference between the two arms in the best MintLP conditions?

It would be interesting for me to understand if the old Graham 2.2t/c could be a good "sonical" deal over the higher price of the new Phantom.

Thanks to everyOne for suggestions/opinions

Cheers,

The Phantom IS a very good tracker....Along with others here you also know set up IS everything.

The Graham Phantom is known to be a fabulous match for your Raven.
With a budget in mind, I would be patient for a used one.

The Phantom is a beautiful sounding arm, well thought out, will handle many if not all available cartridges with "easy fine tuning designed" for the end user in mind as is the Tri-Planer.

Definitely you cannot go wrong with either.
In the long run you will be happy and satisfied.

My instinct is what you have now for a arm compared to a Graham 2.2 could end up being a minimal leap forward at best with a differant presentation.
