TriPlanar Tips
Mine developed the same loss of cueing damping issue. I did not infringe tip-1 or use the bar as a long term resting location . I suspect it just happens with time .Andrew 
Graham Phantom Supreme?
MulvelingI'm in the same boat. With the 10 inch. My cart is all the way back inbthe headshell. But I was able to verify that independent of the cart, the headhsell is not in the same plane as the tube. The micropoise spirit level shows one thing a... 
Graham Phantom Supreme?
BillThanks for your thorough feedback.! That basically sums up my experience. I'm still fiddling with VTA as I'm also observing what Egrady did with the headshesd section slightl tilted down and forward. This was validated by seeing the base if th...

BillDid you get your arm back? Any thoughts?Andrew 
Acoustic Signature Thunder
I used to use the Mambo. The precursor to thunder . It was an amazing TT. I strongly recommend the thunder abs suggest one motor. 
Graham Phantom Supreme?
My experience with damping fluid is the following:Use very little. I initially tried ~0.25cc of the series 100 fluid. I then removed about a little more than half of it leaving the fluid touching the underside of the square shank and ~1/3 of the w... 
Graham Phantom Supreme?
Wrm57,I agree I felt the Phantom II was better than the triplanar. You will be shocked by the Supreme. The new version has a very live attack without sounding threadbare or strident. The triplanar is a little fuller but is missing a lot in compari... 
Graham Phantom Supreme?
Hi All,I had my Phantom II upgraded to the Supreme status a while back and finally had a chance to install it. Some comments:1) this arm has incredible macro and micro dynamics. It's is one of the first things that stands out. Dynamics start conti... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
I agree with Syntax that the way to perceive speed instabilities is to hear for low level sounds and ambience. Speed stable tables have better air, ambience, soundstage depth, clarity, dynamics and more defined bass. Atmasphere has said similar th... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
DownunderI'm not at home right now to double-check but I referred to slower based on the 33 mark moving in the direction the "slower-arrow" is pointing to on the strobe-remote-gadget . I thought this designates slower speed because I recall having... 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
Hello DownunderIn my case, with one motor, the speed slows down ( as observed by the 33 mark moving to the left of the strobe disk) when the needle is in the groove. Are you using more than one motor?Andrew 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
I own a TW Acustic Raven AC-1 and would like to make a few comments:1) The table needs to have its speed set with the needle in the grove. I believe this has to do with the fact that it uses a DC motor. My understanding is that the speed is relate...

Has anyone tried the phono cables? If so which version and how did they compare to your current cables?Andrew 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I agree with Dinder1. The MMM-1 is better than the LS50. The LS50 is nice, but does not have the lows the MMM-1 has and it also sounds "boxey". the LS50 would make a great bookshlef speaker in a nearfield situation like at your desk.Andrew
