SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44

I too have heard all three arms in various systems and all should match well with the lyra. As far as the sme being "grey" or having mid or high resonance issues I would love to see the freq plot that shows these alleged anomolies. I did not experience this in any listening nor has anyone I know that uses this arm. As a matter of fact far from it, if anything it gives the most nuetral presentation of the three. If thats grey so be it.

My favourite Arm from those is the Phantom.

Hi Tim,

well the phantom is perfect or the new Kuzma 4-Point
where you can swap the headshell.

Hi to all,

Thanks so much for all these views/comments.

I have one question : why are Phantoms quite easy to find second-hand yet Tri-Planar less (never?).

Is this because more of the Phantoms were/are sold?
