I am using the Phantom with a Helikon mounted on an Oracle Delphi MKV SE. The results are excellent. The Phantom is a remarkably revealing tonearm with super dynamics and control. The Phantom is amazing at extracting additional information but always manages to facilitate a natural balanced musical presentation. With the Phantom the speed and power on drums is breathtaking. The soundstage is huge and open with tremendous bloom and air. The presentation is always smooth and musical. It exceeds the Graham 2.2 and the Zeta in my system in every musical category and not by a small margin.
George,you may like your Phantom better than your previous ZETA,BUT you will HAVE to concede that the classic wooden box,that the ZETA came in, is beyond reproach!!I STILL have mine,and it makes a great audio accessories storage facility!!How about the "Carved" top!!Bet the Phantom packaging is NO contest there!!

BTW--My Zeta box used to do duty storing "Something more organic"(back in my college days).That was until my parents found it!Now it serves as my "analog accessories" box!It's NOT for sale,though the Shun Mook boys' boxing comes close!!
A Koetsu Jade Platinum hangs at the end of my Phantom. A Basis Debut V Vacuum turns the vinyl.

Today I listened to Johnny Cash-American IV. This wonderful artist and recording carried me to a very special place.

As good as the 2.2 is; it never did this for me. The Graham Phantom is just that revealing.
