| Woody Shaw- Blackstone Legacy Thanks, whart! I do like me some Woody Shaw. | |
| Perlisten S5t I’ve owned the S7t since December. They are excellent speakers that do just about everything right. This is not to say they are perfect, but only that they have no glaring faults and I have no complaints--and I am extremely picky. They are coheren... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar Just wanted to bring this thread full circle. I ended up buying a new 10-in Phantom Elite at a good price from an authorized dealer, who had it in stock, amazingly. It arrives in a few days, and I’m excited. In the end, my addiction to Graham ergo... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn , Such a drag. I hope MoFi hears the footsteps and does the right thing. For my part, moved off the MSL idea entirely, and I was just about to order one. Looks like a Lyra is in my future. Looks like MoFi is not. Thank you for the timely... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red What you see in that video is nothing compared to what goes on in the shipper warehouses. Stuff routinely drops from much greater heights. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum So sorry to hear this, Mike. I must say, it makes me reconsider the purchase of an MSL, if only because of MoFi and the short warranty period, and I was on the verge. | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" One turntable weighs 122 lbs without the platter, another 105 lbs. I have two SS stereo amps that weigh around 90 lbs each and a 300b amp that’s close to 9 lbs a watt. At this point I’m still able to wrangle them all, but the day will come in the ... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar Lewm, I think you're thinking of the Telos, no longer made, which constrained the unipivot with that little bar, as you described. The Tosca is the newest Durand arm, and its first gimbal design. It has this unusual VTA adjustment that places the ... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar I’m with lewm on this one. Way back when, I had an OL-modded Rega arm that set VTA with a grub screw on the shaft. I couldn’t run to a Graham 2.2 fast enough. VTA towers are a boon to sanity and civilization. But the rotational stability of that ... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar @mijostyn , so do you find all unipivots categorically flawed or is it something in the Graham’s particular approach to unipivots that makes you say it has a defective bearing system? | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar Thank you for the information and PM offer. I'll look into the Audiomods and ping you if I have questions. Much appreciated. | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar @pindac , I see the Agile at £10.5 on the OL site, but your point is well-taken, that continued research and home auditions might yield a tonearm that I like more than my Graham for much less. What did you end up preferring to your SME IV, if I ma... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar I guess my OP was unclear. I'd like to hear from forum members who have experience with the Phantom Elite, preferable the 10-in version, and/or the Acoustical Systems Aquilar. I'd like to know how they compare--in practice. I'm not so interested i... | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar OK, fine, whatever, man. Your opinions are noted. I have no interest in arguing with you. | |
| Graham Phantom Elite vs. AS Aquilar I hear what you’re saying, and all else being equal, an unbroken run from clips to jacks might well be better. It is theoretically, at least. But all else is seldom equal. And the clean run alone does not make the difference. Case in point: for ye... |
