Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14?


I'm considering it. Who's done it and what did you think? Members who've heard a head-to-head comparison are also welcome to chime in.

The turntable is an SP10R in Artisan Fidelity plinth. Cartridges at this point are an mainlyan A90 and Benz Ebony TR, but I'm planning for a MSL Gold or Platinum sometime down the road.

Thanks.

Thank you for the tip. I’ve never talked to Tom. I might just give him a call.

Corrections to two of my previous posts.

a WallyVTA, which surprised me with how much better it made things.

I meant to say WallySkater.

And regarding the Graham counterweight:

The weight is slid along the track by an accordion-like mechanism that expands or contracts.

That’s inaccurate. It is propelled along a threaded rod that functions like a screw. But the issue of resonance and decoupling remain.

Just wanted to set the record straight.

Dear @wrm57  : If you can find out the EPA 100 that's bettr option and up-grade vs the Graham and maybe the Reeds too.

Thanks @rauliruegas . Should I hold out for the Mk2, made of Boron/Titanium, or is Titanium/Nitride Mk1 nearly as good? I’ve neither seen nor heard either one.

I concur, Thom Mackris is one of the best in the business. He’ll give you an honest opinion, but I still say the answer to your question is cartridge dependent.
