| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Atmosphere,yes I cannot disagree with you,but the vast amount of my own experience with airline arms was at my friend Sid's home.He,and his close friend, had the Air Tangent set up with the original pump.Sounded about how you would describe it.Ver... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Thomas has it pretty much nailed down,as far as I am concerned. As far as my own opinion...you really have to look(hard)at the particular hobbyist/set-up person,or dealer with regards to "voicing"(getting the best)an arm/cartridge combo has. Sorry... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Hey Downunder,forgot to mention I have a close friend with the Art series II!What a great pre!!!!!!I think it is amazing!!!!!! Best of luck. | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? Pryso,funny you should mention the Duntech Princess.I met a gent at my local LP collecting emporium,who owns that speaker.The guy seemed quite financially well of,but was ecstatic with the performance of the Princess. I guess he has more cash for ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner OK I'll bite!....I do love the Phantom,with the experience of using one(my friend's/with my own on order)in conjunction with the Transfiguration Temper-v,and the Transfiguration Orpheus.It is SO good,that I finally gave up on my beloved(boy,I real... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner BTW,Downunder...as a good amount of my friends own the VPI TNT(latest,with heavy platter)why are you not interested in the new VPI 12.7 arm?Just curious. Best | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom "Do you feel the Orpheus leans in any particular sonic direction"?.... "A very good direction"!..Yet,don't sell a good Koetsu for one,unless you collect cartridges! Whew,.....you guys are "serious"!! BTW,a friend(not one I speak to more than two o... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder,my response is not to dissuade you from any inquiry,which you are absolutely entitled to......Yet,the Phantom is NOT a different beast from earlier versions,on sonics!I have owned the Triplanar,and am extremely familiar with the Phantom.... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? Must admit I simply cannot part with my Avalon Ascent MK-II speakers,which I bought well over a decade ago.I set up my dedicated room around them,and later added a Rel Stentor sub,to reinforce the extreme bottom,since they are eight feet into room... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Fjn04,I had two different stone body Koetsus.Loved them!I cannot see any reason for the Phantom(new or old) to have any problems with either. The heavier counterweight would allow for the weight to be a bit closer to the bearing,but I cannot possi... | |
| How did you get into vinyl? My dad's LP collection,originally!I remember the late '50's with him playing "Enoch Light","Prez Prado","Tito Puente" on a portable player,outside our cottage,while a child in the Catskill Mountains!The BEST times of my life!! Later I became a ser... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder,I know you are an experienced 'phile,so I am going to give my personal opinion.If you actually believe one is "across the board better",with the criteria you give here,than I am simply at a loss for words. Based on the latest improvement... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Hey George(Gmorris),nice to hear from you.I will not be able to commemnt on the heavier counterweight,as I never had the original one.My friend has the original one,which sounds just great,to me.I was told the new one is for better matching of hea... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Good news!The very latest Phantoms will have a new,slightly heavier counterweight,just for you guys wanting to eek out the absolute best from the heavier cartridges.A good thing,for Koetsu lovers! There will also be a new lower viscosity damping f... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker BTW,a few years ago I had the pleasure of being invited(by a mutual friend,at the time)to Greg Petan's home.It was a very nice experience.That being said,the room is very large,and definitely requires(demands)a pretty large speaker.As I can recall... |
