I would not buy the Miyajima BE mono for the Phantom B-44 tonearm. I have the premium version of this cartridge properly mounted on the Phantom and it does not track well. I have to keep VTF at over 4gm. In this case the tonearm and the rigid suspension of the Miyajima do not work together. After few months my stylus rolled off the cantilever. 600 bucks to retip. And the distributor was of little help during the whole process of figuring out to get rid of distortion and mistracking.. Pity, as it's a great sounding cartridge.
In the words of Robin Wyatt, the distributor, "The Graham is a great arm but the PM BE is putting so much energy it is probably close to limit on the unipivot"
