Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II


Hi, I own the Phantom and think about getting the Phantom II.
It is quite rare, but is someone out who did the change from one to the other?
When yes, may I ask, what do you think about the sonic differences. Some say there are none but I think from technical paper there are...

Thanks

Good. So Daniel will be fine with me.

Thank you.

Regards and enjoy the music,

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.

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?
