Graham Phantom Supreme?

Has anyone done a comparison between the Supreme and the mkII? Is it worth changing and expending the extra outlay?

The main revisions appear to be the bearing housing and an improved magneglide stabiliser (I think the internal wiring was up to a good standard already on the mkII)

There is a company called AudioMax Ltd (approved contractor?) which can perform upgrades from both Phantom I and Phantom II to the Supreme build.
Any experience of this conversion out there ?
Many thanks... :)

Thanks for that short review, Syntax. I take it from your remarks that you are using the 9-inch arm wand right now. Dertonearm said or implied that you also do own the 12-inch. I am thinking about the 10-inch.....

Here is something really useful, the adjustment tool from Graham for his Arms.


The new one for the supreme allows the height of the plastic flip guide to be adjusted according to cart height. This jig is a godsend especially for carts that have a short cantilever buried underneath the cart body like the Koetsu's, Allnic Puritas, ect.

The 10" arm for the Graham is the way to go. That was Musical Surrounding recommendation anyway.

Dear Lewm, dear Rockitman, - I can't resist, but I now have to second Syntax' choice for the 9" arm wand. While I am certainly usually try to go for increased effective length, the 9" standard arm wand is the best for the Graham Phantom.
Why ?
I leave this to Syntax to explain - as it was on his selection of all 3 arm wands that it was discovered.
More to discover
