Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II

Dear Syntax: That's the way people see you.

Btw, I wonder why you changed your Agon moniker because when you was Thomasheisig and was " alone " you was ( with all respect ) a lot "better" than today.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Raul, me being a late descendant from a very old family tree - its roots going back to the times when Iberia was almost completely occupied by the Maurin and well before the first european (- aside from Leif Erikson... - ) sat his foot on america soil, - I happen to have a total of 4 names given to me at my birth.
Dietrich as well as Daniel are two of the 4.
So the german jungle drums did reach middle america ...... documenting that I have stepped on many toes.
In any case - Dietrich has nothing to do with Daniel, but the meaning of this old northern german name simply is leader or chieftain or king.
Make your selection.

Regards and enjoy the music..........,
D.

Good. So Daniel will be fine with me.

Thank you.

Regards and enjoy the music,
raul.

Well, I guess it will keep on going that way. Syntax will speak his mind and take a clear position and some others will not like that.
Fine.
As in old german saying: "viel Feind - viel Ehr".
Or in english: "your honor is in direct relation to the number of your enemies".
Guess we all can live with that situation
Can't we.
Cheers,
D. D. H. K.

Avid make a specific armboard for the Naim ARO unipivot tonearm, so your comments about Mass not liking unipivots makes no sense.

He clearly does not like the Ghraham on his table. There could be two trains of thought about this.

- first is that Avid are UK company, so a lot easier and cheaper to use the excellent sounding UK made Naim ARO or SME V, whereas the Graham as it is imported would be quite a bit more money and supply not known.

- 2nd - The Avid is supposed to be a lively(bright in some language) sounding turntable and the Graham arms are not known for their warmth - so having the combo might indeed produce a lean not very enjoybale sound.
The Naim ARO and SME V are not so unforgiving.

As has been mentioned, there is no best of anything.

thoughts?
