Graham Phantom Supreme?

Has anyone done a comparison between the Supreme and the mkII? Is it worth changing and expending the extra outlay?

The main revisions appear to be the bearing housing and an improved magneglide stabiliser (I think the internal wiring was up to a good standard already on the mkII)

There is a company called AudioMax Ltd (approved contractor?) which can perform upgrades from both Phantom I and Phantom II to the Supreme build.
Any experience of this conversion out there ?
Many thanks... :)

Anyone know if the phantom I or phantom II can be upgraded to supreme status and for how much?

Thanks

I shared this procedure I used with Chris Feickert, Michael Fremer, and those attending the event about 5 years ago during one of Michael's seminars at RMAF

Correction, it was during RMAF 2008 instead of 5 years ago.

Halcro,

Is the Phantom a true unipivot or a dual pivot. When I read Fremers review of the Phantom he says the magneglide mechanism runs on a bearing but is pulled by the arm via magnets, suggesting the magneglide is not physically connected to the arm. Is that correct ?

Thanks - Dover

Dover,
That is correct. There is no physical contact between the magnets of the Magnaglide and thus I believe the Phantom II.....in fact all the Graham arms.......are true unipivots.

Dear Dover, the magneglide mechanism does induce a force which again kind of "simulates" a second bearing. Kind of "magnetic semi-unipivot" ...? The mechanical contact is the uni-pivot only, but there is undoubtedly a lateral force which act similar to a lateral 2nd bearing.
If not as consequent ...
Cheers,
D.
