Tonearm cabling for Graham Phantom

Hi, all good comments above.

On the right angle vs straight, sometimes this also depends on the cable, the Purist Audio Designs I use has a very flexible 6 inch lead allowing fairly unrestrictive movement and ability to bend. Others maybe more stiff dictating a right or straight for you. I used to have a SME IV.Vi than has a similar din arrangement as your Graham, I used both straight and right angles...

I think the next question is what are you wanting to accomplish? You can spend more on a arm cable than your arm if you want.

In my opinion, they are a critical element of your analog playback chain...and like most things, system matching is critical.

Good luck !

I know it's really expensive, but the Tara Labs GX phono cable is just fantastic! Two friends with Graham arms (and great systems) were so thrilled with theirs that I bought a used one here on Audiogon. It has made more difference than any cable change I have tried. Probably more like changing to a great cartride. It's hard to justify the price,but it will be the last time you buy a phono cable.

I agree with Hi5harry. I have a Graham Phantom II and now use the Tara Lab GX phono cable which offers the most airy and spacious presentation of all phono cables I tried in the past. Retail is very expensive. I would look for it in used market.

I've been very happy with the Stealth Hyperphono cable on my Phantom arm, (right angle DIN). I find it to strike a great balance of being detailed while still sounding full as opposed to strident, (rare in my experience). Very natural sounding. Best of luck with your choice, (there's no shortage of options, that's for sure).

wow, these are very expensive cables!! Some as much as half the cost of the arm...
