I just replaced a Clearaudio Avantgarde Magnum with a Brinkmann Bardo. Both had the Phantom tonearm II.
Wondering if anyone else has bought this table and what their thoughts are?
My initial impressions are that it grabs your attention and does not let you wander off in thoughts as you listen to music. Maybe a little less open then the Clearaudio, but more grounded and solid as a result. I definitely like it more than the Balance, which I found to be too "damped" and a bit boring to listen too.
I also felt that changing the arm to the Graham resulted in a more profound change and improvement to the character of the system than the table swap.
