Ive used the Graham with this cartridge for a while and have never experienced the ear bleeding that Doug has. That said, I found that adding a 2.3 gram head shell weight further improved the performance of this cartridge in the Graham. Adding this weight reduced the nervousness that the Airy had from time to time and added a fair amount of solidity and focus to the sound. And of coarse adding the weight required further futzing with the damping fluid. I never said that the Graham is not a pain. In that regard, the Graham is in a class of its own. Own a Graham and youll earn an advanced degree in futzology!
