SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44

My favourite Arm from those is the Phantom.

Hi to all,

Thanks so much for all these views/comments.

I have one question : why are Phantoms quite easy to find second-hand yet Tri-Planar less (never?).

Is this because more of the Phantoms were/are sold?

Timnaim,

That is honestly not the case. Both are just as easy to find depending on when you are searching. The Triplanar had an update to a newer arm months ago and the new version is slightly lower in effective mass. Many Triplanars were sold then s/h. Now there is a Phantom II w. a titanium armwand. So now you will see my Phantoms Is for sale. Even the original Phantom I had a bearing update during production.
