Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ?

Many thanks for all the suggestions/comments/advice.

Am loving the VPS and am managing to squeeze enough gain from the tube only stage. Did contemplate the 12" Graham but was dissuaded from that path by many incl. Thomas of TW.

I may yet surprise you! Whereabouts are you located in New England ?

Really appreciate your honest assessment of the Orpheus L and the Titan. Its pretty much what I imagined but coming from someone who actually owns both is so much more valuable.

Your endorsement and recommendation of the Talea I value.

Ideally would love to audition the Talea. In the event thats not possible the testimony/reviews on Agon would probably sway me.

Cheers and happy listening

Mike,

Can you comment on the Talea vs the Reed?

Sunnyboy, you've got email. I'm in So. New Hampshire.

I also hold the Triplanar in high regard. This is an arm I can happily live with for many years to come. HOwever, the Talea was just something I could not get out of my head weeks after the prototype left my system. I don't really want to part with my Triplanar so I need to find a way (an excuse is more accurate :-) ) to get both arms on my table. It is going to be a bit of a challenge because I can't really use the mono cart ploy 'cuz I don't own more than a dozen mono LPs. If that many.

My experience with Graham is limited to the 2.2 I owned sometime back so I don't think it is relevant to this discussion.

This posting is only hearsay, no experience. Recently my friend just mounted his graham B44 mk2 and Breur on his Raven with black night power supply. To him Breuer is much better. He has a clearaudio statement with linear tracking. To him , breur tonearm with raven set up is oomparable to his Cleaaraudio Statement and he attributed its performance to the Breuar tonearm

Let's roll a dice :-)
