Tonearm musings


Over the last couple of years I have upgraded much of my system, with the exception of my tone arm. The Allnic Amber shares an old Graham 1.5 t/c arm on a new Oracle Delphi MkVI gen 2 table. It sounds great but I often wonder would I notice much improvement, or any at all, if I upgraded my arm, which literally is the only older item I still have:
Herron VTPH-2a phono preamp, tubes rolled
LTA MicroZotl preamp, stage 2, tubes rolled
Pass Labs X250.8
Revel Salon2 arriving soon, I hope!
Your honest opinion appreciated
Thx

Personally if you like the current sound why not get a Graham Phantom Supreme - definitely an upgrade.
Alternately the best value for money arm on the market in my view is the Kuzma 4Point9 - reasonable price and superb performance.

With the oracle suspension in my experience you have to stay clear of any arms that are heavy, like Dynavector 507/Kuzma 4Point11 for example - it becomes difficult to balance the suspended chassis.
