I've used both a Grahm 2.2 and an Alphason Hr100s with excellent results. No too heavy, therefore, it did not throw off the sprung balance.

I have used the Oracle SME 345 and the Audiomods Series 5. I prefer the Audiomods. I wrote about my findings in this thread. It has other helpful info as well. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/are-there-any-delphi-oracle-users-who-can-comment |
I've used the Graham 2.0 with Mk III, IV, & V, and currently use the Graham Phantom III Supreme with my mk VI v.2. Both arms have worked extremely well with all my Dephii. I did have to use the stronger spring when I installed the Phantom. I think Bob Graham original designed his first arms using a Delphi, but I could be misremembering that. |
I am using a Graham 2.2T with my Oracle V. From reviews I have perused, it seems that SME may not be the best choice for Oracle in spite of Oracle's commitment to SME. Fremer preferred the sound with the Graham several years ago, more recently Dudley preferred the Abis. (I have not directly compared). The Graham replaced the Alphason I had used on my Oracle I/II and is a big improvement. |
Initially I had a Magnepan Unitrac on our table and upgraded to a Graham 20 years ago. It got the 2.2 bearing and Ceramic armwand. Currently running a Graham Phantom, that's by far the best arm thus far. I've been able to balance the Phantom with and without counterweight successfully even with the additional weight over the other arms. |
