Graham Phantom vs Triplaner

Grasshopper! You have plucked the pebble from my palm! :-):-)

I agree. It's complicated and I'd rather just listen. I just picked up Jorma's River of Time but haven't had the chance to light up my system for more than a week. I'm shaking like a big dose of Starbucks.

Seriously, and just on a layman's observation, the application of damping is different in that the unipivot-based design dampens in close proximity of the pivot bearing and the TP damping is farther down the arm toward the cart. Obviously different applications of damping for different stimulus-sesses. (stimulii? :-) )

My personal view is the the damping on the TP was to satisfy those who would prefer a more "musical sound", as I called it back in the day. Everybody's right! Especially me.

Is that Jorma K? Is it acoustic and on lp?

I saw Hot Tuna couple year ago in a small theater. Acoustic and electric. Awesome.

By the way, pick up buddy guy n junior wells Going back to acoustic on pure pleasure if you like the blues. Pretty amazing record

Yes, Koukonen. Folks who own the CD seem to be very happy with this release and I expect good vinyl from Jorma. I missed Hot Tuna last year when they came around. Thanks for the tip on Buddy and Jr.!
