SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44

Just out of curiousity since these three arms are some of the best out there, how does the vpi 12.7 stand up to them??
Oh and by the way with my limited experience in analog would like to add I am very happy with my Graham 2.2t.

I too have heard all three arms in various systems and all should match well with the lyra. As far as the sme being "grey" or having mid or high resonance issues I would love to see the freq plot that shows these alleged anomolies. I did not experience this in any listening nor has anyone I know that uses this arm. As a matter of fact far from it, if anything it gives the most nuetral presentation of the three. If thats grey so be it.

My favourite Arm from those is the Phantom.

Hi Tim,

well the phantom is perfect or the new Kuzma 4-Point
where you can swap the headshell.
