| Graham Elite My thanks for all who chimed in on this, and lively dialogue is to be expected in one's hobby. Audio, in particular, seems to have really polarized thoughts and opinions, so we hope that the real goal - enjoying music - is not lost somewhere along... | |
| Graham Elite I was just sent this thread, as we've been so busy here - no time to chit-chat. Although the discussions can be lively and sometimes entertaining, it can sometimes result in a poorly-considered sense of judgment, as in the case of Number 95, who w... | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? The one we supply for the Air Force One and Two turntables is quite outstanding, if I do say so myself... Please contact us for information and pricing.. - Bob Graham, Graham Engineering | |
| Graham Phantom mk II & JA Michelle ORBE se help I just noticed this thread, a week or two later. Just to clarify, the word "drop-in" is, I see I should explain more bluntly, conditional on the turntable having things exactly as SME themselves do; i.e., position the direction of the slot so that... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II My goodness - I missed seeing this thread before, and I want to thank everyone for their input.. First of all, I want to apologize to any who did not receive a reply when they wrote; we try to answer all e-mails, but with spam-filters being what t... | |
| A question for Graham owners As the designer of the Phantom, I was interested in Kepdent's posted concern (a possible tracking problem), and glad to find out that other users can confirm the Phantom was not the problem. That would ruin my day..!! One of the most important doc... | |
| Graham Phantom Armwand I just glanced at this thread, and so thought I better set the record straight (no pun this time)... The titanium is a little smaller in diameter, and is even stiffer than the ceramic, but without the danger of breaking if dropped. This version of... | |
| Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more? Dear Tris, That's one of those things that can work equally well, but some may "feel better" if they have more fluid of a lower viscosity than doing it the other way. Damping is damping, and I think the arm will not care much. In the case of the ... | |
| Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more? Dear Zargon, By all means, use a range of force up to 2.2 grams if necessary. The 1.8 is the "standard" setting recommended by Immutable, the manufacurer of the generator we use (we make the cartridge body and supply the 4-N silver wire ourselves)... | |
| Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more? I just happened upon this dialogue, so thought I'd add a thought or two: the degree of damping fluid in the 2.2 (or any damped arm) is subject to variations and personal preferences. Too little damping and you get one kind of sound (possibly brigh... | |
| New Phantom Bearing As Rgurney reports, the new pivot cap/bearing does make a significant jump in performance. This is the kind of thing one wishes had been achieved from the very beginning; however, that's the nature of progress, and the reason tonearms, cartridges,... | |
| Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2? Just putting in a little computer time on Saturday, and saw the latest notes from Dougdeacon and Sirspeedily (!)... Thanks to all for your notes and for your approval of our work; like any other endeavor, there's always room for improvement, and I... | |
| Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2? Just a quick note to Dougdeacon: yes, to be very specific, the target plate will exert the 1.25-1.5 gram downward force when it's level, and slightly less when it's not level. But the difference is really quite slight and even this "error" is less... | |
| Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2? Hello Albert - yes, it's been quite a while, indeed. Nice to hear from you and allow me to answer your newest questions a bit: On your first point, which suggests that a typical unipivot can have play accumulating to perhaps several thousanths of ... | |
| Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2? In glancing at this latest thread with my name on it, I just looked at a rew responses and immmediately noted a serious mis-understanding of the use and design of my alignment tools. In particular, Albertporter (4-15) is wrong on at least two poin... |
