I have used/owned three Allaerts cartridges including the Mc2 Finish gold that I am now using.
I have never experienced any breakdowns using these cartridges and feel that the Allaerts range is very special indeed.
I too heard that the higher up models in the range do not play Rock music so well?
This however I have found to be utter nonsense,on my RockV/Phantom TT the Allaerts has amazed me on ANY kind of musical programme I can throw at it.
If you can accommodate a cartridge like the finish,my guess is that you will be extremely satisfied.
I know I am,And as for Mr framers review.........

Hey SirSpeedy
I think many of us cannot wait for you to get your Phantom
I personally can't wait to share experiences with you on this matter!
I recall your input regarding fluid levels a while back regarding the 2.2 and managed to coax better results from that arm than I was previously getting.
I have owned the Phantom now for about a year and a half and feel it is a very special tonearm.
Lucky for me my wife hasn't noticed that my JA carts seem to sound ever better but still appear to look the same!
Thanks Jan for that one!
I will be very interested on your findings with the new Graham arm.
Good luck all and wishing you all a happy new year.
