Which arm best for SME30-2?

I have an SME 30-2 with SME V and a Koetsu Blue Onyx. The Triplanar and Graham Phantom B44 are possible alternetives. Does anyone have any experience in this respsect. i.e. Triplanar or Phantom on an SME 30? The rest of my system is: Asthetix Rhea Signature (yes the new one), CJ CT5 and a pair of LP140Ms driving Guaneri Hommage speakers set on solid (250Lb) Marble columns. CD is vis dcs Elgar DAC, Purcell upsampler and Theta Jade transport. All interconnects are by LFD - Black widow for Rhea and Elgar to CT5 and Silcer Scorpion for SME to Rhea and CT5 to LP140Ms. Speaker wire is home brew. 1mm fine Silver wire (99.9% pure) threaded into Teflon sleeving and bi-wired.

Hi,
I also have a SME model 20/SME V and the new power supply unit. I upgraded to the PSU from the old supply and noticed that the sound was bigger, richer and more powerful but maybe slightly less transparent.
I'm always being told the SME V can be bettered and recently I tried the Graham 2.2 on my table and prefered the V. The graham maybe more neutral in some ways but ultimately the soundscape is further away making the listen rather boring.
