Graham Phantom on TW Acustic Raven?

Gerrym5,

Did you buy your table from Jeff Catalano at Highwater Sound? If you did, he can help you in any way you wish. If you bought your table on the used market, I feel certain that Jeff would be more than willing to help you with set-up. He's a great person and extremely helpful. You should contact him.

I agree with all Tdaudio indicated. I use a Tri-Planar/Transfiguration LO Orpheus. Set-up via WallyTractor Universal with marvelous results. Tightening the armboard screw should be firm but not too tight. Don't play plumber with your audio. Same holds true for your cartridge screws.

I have TW RAVEN AC1 with PHANTOM 2 ORPHEUS cartridge set up by Jeff GREAT COMBO ANALOG HEAVEN!! This table is much better than any table i have had over 40 years.

I fitted the latest Graham Phantom II to my TW Raven One (Transfiguration Orpheus L mc) in June. With a MINT protractor made specially for this combo I found that the Graham spindle jig methos for arm alignment was slightly off. I spent many hours using the MINT protractor to get the alignment spot on. The Raven armboard, mounting arrangement does give alot of scope for aligning the arm/cartridge.

I used a Feickert for mine and it was pretty straight forward. Select the appropriate effective length, pivot the arm board with the arm mounted until it lines up with the center of the bearing cup, then go through the painfully detailed process of aligning the cart and you're good to go.

Or, you can use the Graham supplied jig thing but when I compared it with the Feickert, one of them was off and the Feickert setting sounded much better so I'm guessing it was the jig that wasn't quite perfect or I have tin ears and like a poorly set-up table... I guess anything is possible. :-)

Great combo, I'm sure you'll love it.... I sure do!

It is a snap as Tdaudio points out.
As others suggest above I also highly recommend the purchase of a Wally or a MintLp arc protractor for precise set up that goes well beyond the factory Graham jigs, as good and well thought out as they are.
