Howdy. I aggree with Mink above that the replacing your arm with the Basis Vector would be a great option. The Vector is a drop in replacement where as the Graham is not - it requires a different mounting hole. One other thing. With the Graham, you'll need a tonearm cable whereas, from looking at the pictures I've seen of the Vector, I believe the it comes "hardwired" with an arm cable. You'll save the additional cost of what ever cable you would choose.
It's on the matter of cartridges that I part company with Monk. I'm using Ruby 2 with the Graham and Basis Debut and do not find this combo boring. The choice of cartirdge is the most personal part of this and one needs to match the choice of cartridge to the rest of their system and to their expectations. The pain in this is one can't try before they buy.
My recommendation would be to buy the Vector first and plan on using it at least for a little while with your Glider so you can hear for yourself how the voicing of the Benz line works with the new arm and the rest of your system. Whether you keep the glider or not, you'll have a point of reference. Change one thing at a time.
FYI, I'm planning on taking my own advice on buying a Vector.
