Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2

Raul,

You are living the dream (that's a good thing!) though I'm disappointed to learn you can "only" mount ten tonearms at one time. Surely you can do better than that. I'm not sure how you have time to eat or sleep.

Fascinating story about the Lustre GST-801, which I confess I've never heard of. I agree you can't really predict how an arm and cartridge will play by their measurements, even if you know the measurements. There is more involved in music and music reproduction than engineers know how to measure.

Cello's Graham/Schroeder/TriPlanar comparison, all in the same system with the same cartridge, will also be very interesting.

Regardless of Raul's comments, I think the comparisons that we will do between the Graham 2.2, TriPlanar (latest iteration) and Schroder Reference while using a ZYX Universe which might be one of the most uncolored and detailed cartridges available today and on a fairly detailed, dynamic and quite revealing system, should be as good as it gets for doing comparisons between arms. Everything will be held constant except the tonearms. All of the tonearms will have already been broken in.
.
We will share the results with the rest of you based on a consensus of the observations of several audiophiles with excellent ears. The hope is that the results will be helpful to Audiogoners who have those 3 arms on their short list to be able to make a decision of which direction they would like to go with regards to a tonearm purchase.

Larry, am I experiencing a weird sense of deja vu, or did that last post of yours appear yesterday and then reappear today? I know I'm losing my mind, but this is spooky! :-)

.Hey Yogi, errr..... I mean David, are you taking your medication on a regular basis ?

I have left my dark side and re-emerged into the light. No more picking on Raul (unless of course he starts it first).

Regards and enjoy the chaos,
Larry

Cello,now that I've exhausted myself shoveling out of 14 inches,and am expecting 2-4 more inches tomorrow a.m.I am obviously a little down due to the winter doldrums(did I spell that correctly?).I also spent the entire afternoon Saturday disassembling my new COSMOS,because of a faulty motor.Now it has to go back to SOTA(who were truly sorry about this and I have no doubt that it will come back to a high standard).However the process of breaking down a table and arm is a MAJOR PAIN,'cause I'm really,really,really freakin' tired of fotzing around and want to hear my music.So I ask you this simple request(accompanied by some sad violin music).Could you,please give me a time frame as to when I could have some audio excitement,again,and let me know when you will be performing this anticipated comparison.I can't hold out that much longer!
