Graham Engineering Phantom Elite Statement Armwand
The removable armtube is made with a new, larger and more rigid damped titanium design. The removable design allows for accurate, off-turntable mounting and alignment of the phono cartridge, a valuable safety and accuracy feature which has been a signature of all Phantom tonearms. The new alignment gauge that is part of this system has an adjustable height feature, so that true tangency is always assured, yielding simplicity of operation and greatest accuracy. There are three armwands available, in 9, 10, and 12-inch lengths to suit any conceivable turntable installation.
Unlike other designs where the counterweight/arm resonance can be in the audio range, and which can result in modulation of the playback signal, the Elite counterweight is decoupled at a low, subsonic resonant frequency; this results in cleaner and more dynamic bass extension, and smooth, detailed midrange, with extended, crystalline highs. All of this is achieved with practically no sonic signature of the arm itself, such as false base emphasis or bright highs, and instead is allowing the phono cartridge to work effortlessly in reproducing the music itself.
