I really don't mean to be incendiary here, but this thread is probably as good a place as any to mention a negative issue about the Phantom I've discovered. Due to the fanatical following of the Phamtom, I was poised to purchase one. However, after auditioning it twice in two separate, very good systems and with knowledgeable owners, I distinctly heard mistracking on tracks I am very familiar with. This was a dealbreaker for me for the Phantom. I have not heard the 2.2 and so cannot comment if it's tracking might be better or worse.
A question for Graham owners
Hello guys,
I'm going to buy a Graham Phantom arm but I have had a very good offer over a preowned Graham 2.2t/c in mint conditions.
I have read the Stereophile review about the Phantom with inside the comparisons with the 2.2t
Well .. we know the use of the MintLP Best Tractor can reduce the difference (gap) between the two arms.. surely more than using the Graham Jig on both , like the reviewer did.
Now the question : Anyone here has been able to verify the difference between the two arms in the best MintLP conditions?
It would be interesting for me to understand if the old Graham 2.2t/c could be a good "sonical" deal over the higher price of the new Phantom.
Thanks to everyOne for suggestions/opinions
Cheers,
Curio
