I have owned a Graham Nightingale for about three years. I use it with the Graham 2.2 arm on a Basis Debut V Vacuum table and I have never heard a cartridge/arm combination that sounds so good. It started out great and just seems to get better as the thing continues to break in (or wear out) whichever is the case. I also own Benz Ruby, Ruby 2 and an old (but great) Koetsu pro 4 cartridge, and the Nightingale sounds "better". ie: wider soundstage, better image specificity, slightly better tonality, more "musical" than any of those cartridges. I listen "mostly" to vinyl and use the Nightingale as my cartridge of choice.
Add the fact that the nightingale requires absolutely no set up - just pop on the arm wand and it is already set up correctly - and you have a "world beater" combination.
