Graham Phantom vs Triplaner

Wondering about the sonic traits of both these arms compared to each other.

- which one has deeper bass,
- which one has the warmer (relative) balance
- which one is compatible with more cartridges
- which one has the better more organic midrange
- which one has the greater treble detail.
- which one plays music better ( yes this is a more subjective question ).
- which one goes better with say the TW acoustic raven TT.

Sirspeedy i always wanted a Leica but had to settlle for a Pentax. I had an older SME 3009 series 3 and was still using it. And in the modern era a VPI 10.5i.

Tri Planar 7 is one for the ages. I had my SME for 30 plus years. I know now Tri Planar will be the last tone arm I will ever need.

It still amazes me when i drop the needle and hear absolutely no distortion. I am still going through my new lp collection one at a time. Awesome and more.

Hello me mateies I've googeled looking for the Graham p2 tone arm and non found.
Even at Graham engineering web site is this p2 arm that new.
What's described on the refined sounds from pre 90s lps is how I would describe
the sound I'm getting from my TP included system. This is a true fact for me
the more I remove from the arm that's not needed the better the sound. I'm about ready to hear what removing the curing devise yields.
