while you're having your arm re-wired, i'd sugest you get the pivot cap replaced with the version on the new 2.2. i've been told this will run you about $365. BTW, i doubt your cartridge problem was related to the tonearm wiring, unless its replacement exhibited similar problems. good hunting. -kelly
Graham 2: Reliability Issues
Has anyone had problems with their Graham2 arms? Has anyone heard of a reliablity issue?
My Graham 2 just headed south for the winter after 2 years. It appears that the internal wires near the pivot point have either broken or are touching. It came on as a loss of grounding hum of major propotions. After three hours of searching I found that by moving the arm around produced or removed the hum with added clicks and pops in between.
Now the intereseting part. My first Ruby2 sample went back after 1 year because it was spontaneously giving off large amounts of pops/cracks. Was it related? I'll post a note regarding the outcome when I get it back.
