Grahma Phantom vs Tri-Planer?

Ha...If someone was to pick that up....I'd figured it be you or someone like Mark or Larry. Anyway, I just have not read much around here about the Phantom. I would love to get more info on this one. It seems like this arm and a few others (including the Tri-Planer) are fairly accessible. Too bad the Schroder's are such a long wait.It seems like with a good year end I may be looking at finalizing the table/arm/cartridge in the near future.
I'm curious to see what we learn from this thread!

P.S.

So sorry Bob re the misspelling of your fine product and name!!!!!

Both are good Arms. Depends on Phonostage, Turntable, Cartridge to get the most out of them. I own both.

Rick,how are ya?BTW...Eddie(from the Sid listening session)is updating his 2.2 to the Phantom in about a week.I installed his Transfig. Orpheus awhile ago.He has a fine set-up,and I am sure he would be happy to give you an audition,any time convenient to you.You can call Sid or me,if you want to get in touch with Ed.
Best!

I've not heard the Triplanar, but I've had the Phantom since September on my 20/2 with XV-1S and I love it. Very easy to set up and to adjust. Very musical, tracks beautifully. Very quiet; hear only the music. mids full and rich, highs airy, base deep and tight. It's not sweet or lush, quite neutral without being analytical.

Hope this helps.
