Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more?
Dear Bob Graham, I would like to ask about the damping fluid if I may. Is it better to tune the blue damping fluid (removing fluid) to get the level of damping and hence the sound right. Usually this method leaves the damping well about half full.... 
Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more?
Raul,I would agree 100% with the phono amplifier as it is this that does one of the most important jobs. in some ways it is more important than the arm and cartridge as the phono stage allows you to hear everything that comes off the vinyl.I note ...

Man oh man Raul I envy your collection of cartridges I would have added another type of deck into the equation like a raven....but of course I'm dreaming and your living it.Raul your as F*%$!d up as I'd like to be.Tris 
Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more?
However,There is one point for the 2.2 which may be lost with the finer arms that are more able to render a fine instrument on a stage. it may be slightly out of control but in some ways it's "just enough" to get it into the great arms catagory. I...

Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more?
Dan_edA good point on the damping fluid, at the moment I am trying a combination of Graham's blue fluid with a higher percentage of SME fluid. This can be one point I need to explore again and will order new graham fluid tomorrow. The SME fluid I ... 
Graham 2.2 traking force, do you use more?
Hi Doug, Yes this is a point that I agree with regarding the VPI arms and a matter that was brought up very quickly upon it's release. I would not have thought this to apply to the graham, but for sure as physics would predict, tracking is much su... 
Recommendations on a passive preamp
Without doubt, forget the others there is only one passive!The music first Magnetic passive pre. I have owned this baby for 2 years and it still amazes me. Every up grade I make is in the correct direction from now on.It slaughters all competitors... 
Should we upgrade high end fuses?
Fuses do make a difference and are simply another tuning tool. The main difference is between Ceramic and glass cases. Glass is more open sounding but brighter with it (Glass resonating?).Ceramic fuses are cleaner sounding but can tend toward dull...
