Any feedback on the Graham Phantom

Has anyone ever tried a heavy cartridge (18gms) with a heavy tracking force (4gms) with a Graham?

Bob Graham is making a heavier counterweight for the Phantom specifically for heavier cartridges. Have not seen a Phantom so I don't know if it is compatible with the older Graham arms.

Hi Mr.Graham,

This is an ignorant question. I have yet to see my Phantom so I have no idea how the Magneglide works. Essentially, it replaced the sideweights. Did it? Is it adjustable say to take cartridges with a heavy (3.8gms) tracking force?
Please enlighten me. Thank you

Hi Mr. Graham,
What I am worrying about is the anti-skate because I was watching a friend adjust the anti-skate in a 2.2 using a cart with a heavy tracking force. The arm kept sliding inwards at a fast pace in a blank record. To correct this he added some lead weights along with the supplied side weight and it stabilized. My question is will the Phantom be able to tackle the situation? In the case of the 2.2 when extra lead weights were added, the problem was solved.
But how about in the Phantom?
I thank you so much for answering my queries.

HiBigdog,

Please correct me if I am wrong as I am not too adept with how different arms work. My question is the anti-skating abilities of the Phantom vis-a-vis the 2.2. If you read my prior post to Mr. Graham in order to stop the 2.2 from swinging inward lead weights were added in the anti-skate which worked (cart tracking force 3.8gms) I was wondering if this situation was presented to the Phantom and how it will compensate. again we tried the same cart with a Wheaton Tri-Planar VII and it just didn't counter thus rendering the cart cannot be used with the Wheaton because it seemed a lot of lead had to be added and the arm kept swunging at a very fast pace inwards. We don't want our cantilevers crooked over time and thinking if playing records that the drag is uneven.

However, carts with much lesser tracking force, say 2.0-2.9 grams can take it with a breeze. What I can worried about are carts with much heavier tracking force like the one I have now

My Phantom X has been with me for awhile. I await the arrival of my HR-X with armboard.
