  Graham Phantom vs Triplaner
Wondering about the sonic traits of both these arms compared to each other.

- which one has deeper bass,
- which one has the warmer (relative) balance
- which one is compatible with more cartridges
- which one has the better more organic midrange
- which one has the greater treble detail.
- which one plays music better ( yes this is a more subjective question ).
- which one goes better with say the TW acoustic raven TT.

07-12-09: Aoliviero
Dan, I agree, the P2 sould be better if it had a continuous run. I guess every design is a sum of strengths and weaknesses.

Syntax and i have tried each tonearm in the same system and pretty much share similar opinions of the sonic differences.

My goal was to offer some descriptions of the two by actual side by side comparisons in my system as opposed to speculation, extrapolation or second-hand opinions.

Maybe it is better to speculate, etc since it fosters debates with no clear winner or loser....

Oh well, in the end if you get a chance give both a listen and see what you like. You may even disagree with our read on these two.

Have fun!!

Andrew
