I wish! Someday, I hope.

 

Yup - they are not half bad

Nice...........

Very nice!

I can't imagine spending that much on a turntable.

For $3,200 bucks, it better come with a paper protractor!!!

 

Bah!

If you're spending a few G's on an arm, I'd spend a hundy on a real protcrator.

That's a nice arm.

 

LOL!

 

Speaking of which, I was reading on VA last night and apparently there is a design flaw in the Clearaudio protractor. Have you heard about that?

 

Are you talking about the aluminum protractor that sells for approx. $150?
I made my own protractor for my RB-300 arm. I have a CAD program I use at work so it's easy to make one that works exactly with my P3.

Incidentally, I found that after measuring the Spindle to Pivot distance on my P3 that it was 1mm out of spec. so I use a 239mm effective length protractor and it works great.

 

Yeah. That's an excellent idea. There's a few things I need to do hardware-wize that I plan to make better issue with alignment soon.

Actually I use the MFSL Geodisc for a quick alignment. I've also used the paper ones (The one the RB300 comes with has yielded good results).

I'm actually thinking of "gutting" my P3 for a thick butcher block and lots of poly. Haven't decided yet.

 

What turntable would you install the Graham 2.2 tonearm on? A Clearaudio, or a Basis?

 

I've seen the 2.2 on both.

Mmmmaybe the Kuzma STABI Reference Turntable?

I'd put that kind of arm on maybe a Teres? It's too rich for me anyway...

 

I used my Graham on my old Clearaudio Reference for a while but went back to the TQ1 in the end.

For my money, I would buy this:

 

I have heard the Graham is not the easiest arm to set up.

 

One of the many reasons why I bought an SME V.

 

Yes, but supposedly it has a pretty sophisticated anti-skate setup and tracks like a dream. I like the gold trim as well.

 

None of the above. I would go for a modified Empire 398 with this one.

 

yup, that one gets my vote too! you just look at that creation and know immediatley you are dealing with something very, very special... Tri Mai is the man!

 

Interesting - mating a modern arm with a classic turntable. Have you heard this combo, prix?

 

Both the Graham and the Tri-Planar are very nice arms, however, this is what came stock on my VPI TNT-HR, and its pretty nice too.
