| Graham Phantom Supreme? Dear Dertonarm,I recall the issue of "extra" connectors in the Phantom's cable loom was first brought to my attention in a review of an Origin Live tonearm which contrasted with it's continuous loom.My old Ittok LVII consisted of the standard 3cm ... | |

One of the strengths of the Phantom jig is angular alignment of the stylus/generator.It's an old article I know, but it stuck in my mind because of it's relevance. Scroll down the link t... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Just my tuppence worth...I have only used the Graham Phantom Setup Jig on my current cartridge but as it may have been mentioned elsewhere this allows a very clear, well illuminated, view of the cart undercarriage during setup.The most important t... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Thanks for your feedback guys...Dave, thanks in particular for the detailed analysis. My mkII is quite recent so the upgrade should be straightforward.The comparative newness of the arm is a barrier to getting an immediate fix. I'm thinking of acq... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital For me this argument is a very simple one to answer....Listening to vinyl for several months at a time before switching to a CD based session (and this because someone requested a current album that I didn't own a vinyl version of) pretty much tel... | |
| Can bad LPs damage good cartridges? Ltodd..... I think the phenomenon you are referring to is induced cantilever resonance. This has nothing to do with whether the record is new or old. It has to do with "pinchwarps" (very fast warps) in the vinyl.Also please note arm/cartridge matc... | |

| Brinkmann Bardo, Raven 1, SME 10 Hi Pete,Are you asking the question for academic reasons or thinking of buying an additional 'Table?I'm surprised to hear the R1 is as expensive as this now (would have expected closer to $4-5K). Sure it wasn't the AC you were thinking of?These ar... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Hi Thuchan...some interesting comments about the use of carbon fibre in this article (see the Wilson Benesch arm)http://www.positive-feedback.com/pfbackissues/0605/gordon.tonearm.6n5.htmlThe author/s have tried as hard as they can to assess the pr... | |

| How to reduce anti-skate on Graham Phantom B44 II Muzcal, your problem is so unusual and specific I'd recommend contacting Bob Graham directly on this issue... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? I believe Clearaudio does a 14" variant on one of their designs. Remember being quite surprised at the time. | |
| Setting Antiskate - visually Regarding bias test tones on the HFN/RR : It may be useful to note that each tone isn't just continuous but fades out at the end? I found with one particular cart that with a "centred" tone I could hear the tone "pulling" to left or right after fa... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Actus, no problem buddy.:)I could imagine a few users returning their carts for remedial action but you wonder if that's the right thing to do in all(?) cases. Does this mean the manufacturer would crank up the suspension to compensate - giving th... |
