Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence

Sir speedy,

I'm going to have to agree with Gmorris. The Phantom is far superior to the 2.2.

The tracking abilities of the Phantom blow away the 2.2

Try one!

Thanks for the kind words Sirspeedy.

If we get back to the original question requesting a tonearm of low maintenance, then the Graham 2.2 or Phantom does the job.

This weekend I listened to a number of my old Mercury Living Presence stereo recordings with the Phantom. I was amazed at the increased tracing ability and rendering of information I had never heard before on these recordings. The first Mercury stereo recordings with early matrix were tough to track. Not for the Phantom-Koetsu Jade Platinum. Of course, a Zenith Cobra would also do an excellent job!

Best Wishes,

Steve

Thanks for the album recommendation Sirspeedy.

Like yourself, I have all the orignal Mercury and RCA stereo recordings.
