SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII?

Dear Doug: +++++ " I'm not sure why Raul thinks a VTA mechanism needs a remote control to be useful. Mine works just fine, and I don't have to stop listening to music to use it! :-) " +++++

Well, you have to stand-up and have to go where the tonearm is for you can change the VTA. A real VTA-on the fly is with a remote control where you ´can compare minute VTA changes in " real-time ": that's my approach.

Any one can do azymuth changes in the SME V, problem is that you don't know in deep those tonearms.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Thanks, everyone for your help. I am now leaning toward either the Triplanar or the Graham Phantom. Can anyone tell me where I might obtain an armboard for the 20/2 with Triplanar or alternatively the Phantom?

Dear Ed: Before you buy any tonearm my advise is that at the same time choose the phono cartridge, both items: tonearm/cartridge depend one each other and the better you matched the better the quality sound reproduction.

What do you have on mind about?

Regards and enjoy the music.

Hi Ed,
I saw on the Graham Website, that the Phantom is also offered with SME System. Maybe that's an easy way. Triplanar is also a good choice.

Raul, my cartridge choice would be either Zyx Universe or Dynavector XV1s.

Thomas, I checked the Website and noticed the same thing. I will call on Wednesday and ask about that.

Thanks all. Have a happy and safe 4th.
