| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Logenn,I am not someone who likes only one product.I am a true fan of many fine designs(like Leica,which I always wanted too,but got a Cannon).If someone asks me a question about a product I own,hopefully I can give some meaningful feedback.BUT I ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I want to make one more comment regarding the Triplanar.Just hobbyspeak,and only my opinion. Although I now have a new,and wonderful(not much for me to find fault with,in a "sane" world)Graham Phantom,the Triplanar reminds me of the irreplaceable,... | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever Stltrains,I'm really happy for you!!!DON'T get too fanatical though.-:) I just got my new Phantom,and spent all of last Saturday setting parameters.Listened Sunday,and fine tuned..... Broke down the set-up yesterday(what a pain in the tush)and re-... | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever Well I got a Wallytractor,on loan from Jeff Catalano of High Water Sound.Got it in two days,and offered to buy it from him,as I want to re set up my newly arrived Phantom using other means for comparative purposes.The supplied jig is good,but I am... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,you are definitely correct!!!Also,some of the best systems I have heard were not of the latest,most expensive components.From my using the internet,to see so many different types of systems,enjoyed by many hobbyists,I realize there is a wide ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Yes,Halcro I did read Fremers comments.Hey,if something pushes the emvelope.... "great".I don't recall Fremer doing a "real" comparison against the Copperhead,as it was itegrated into the Criterion(gorgeous table,btw). He did make mention of the P... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Halcro,while I am absolutely fascinated by the Copperhead(hey,multiple patents on much of their stuff,surely means something),the "bar" stays in about the same place(as far as I am concerned),unless the Copperhead is compared to both the Phantom,a... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder,so glad you are happy!!...Funny you mention your VPI experience,as I was at my friend Sid last week.He has the 12.5 arm,or is it 12.6?He is awaiting both the new 12.7 arm and the rim drive.I must state that he is a huge fan of VPI produc... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Frank,at one time I had a 150 gal,75 gal,50 gal,and two 20 gal "marine" set ups going,all at once!!I truly know the meaning of "pain in the tush" hobby.-:)Even had to hand feed certain species. BTw,I still like to look at the aquarium mags,but am ... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Frank,as to fluid level....As you know I am still in the set-up phase of my own arm.Probably for another two weeks,or so. My friend has a Phantom/Orpheus combination,like me.I had re-set it up for him,at his request,and am continually playing arou... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Yes,I am calling SOTA tomorrow(I have a new Cosmos),just to confirm.I am not too worried as I am tracing quite cleanly. The armboard,as I can see,is going to be extremely difficult to drill "spot on"(my friend has a very similar situation with VPI... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Hmm,Frank I don't see/feel that particular wand problem.My jig has more play in it than my friend's,who lives 40 minutes away.I'm willing to bet that I am almost spot on,but want to be sure,hence the WAlly. Best. | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Frank,currently I have the fluid level just touching the very bottom of the squared bearing block.Just overlapping it,by a tiny margin.I only have "one" lengthly listening session with the arm,so I may very well add a touch more fluid this week.I ... | |
| Where can I find a RS1b bass driver? Just heard a fabulous SOTA pair this week!Still a fantastic speaker,totally competitive with the best of today's big boys!! I'd second contacting Bill Legall. If he can't help,don't stop!!!A great and timeless design,IMO!!! You may want to conside... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. For anyone interested...just finished my own two day Phantom install,and calibrating.More enjoyable than I had thought,but very tedious.Thank goodness my family left me alone for a few hours! The entire installation took me 6 hrs on Saturday,with ... |
