Graham Phantom Supreme?

Aoliviero and Egrady,
I noticed that my Koetsu carts are not clamping flat against the headshell. For proper overhang, these carts ride almost all the way back in the 10" armwand's headshell. That positions their mounting hole "wings" almost behind the blue damping dot, which causes a torquing force when you tighten the screws. Thus, the cartridge is slightly "tail up" even while the headshell is 100% level.

At first I thought removing the dot would fix it, but no -- that only exposed 2 low-relief "rails" in the headshell that cause the same issue. This is my only complaint about the arm -- the headshell should be freaking flat!! No bumps, dots or other crap.

Headshell issues aside, the Phantom Supreme is a fabulously built, fabulous sounding arm that is a cinch to setup in all other paramaters!

I'm in the same boat. With the 10 inch. My cart is all the way back inbthe headshell. But I was able to verify that independent of the cart, the headhsell is not in the same plane as the tube. The micropoise spirit level shows one thing and a spirit level not the headshell showa the oppPaige.

My 9 inch want didn't have that issue.
