Another thing to consider is the captive arm cable, Pierre...
Electrically a benefit perhaps(?) but not helpful when trying to change the cartridge or merely tighten/adjust the cartridge screws (assuming that we do it the advisable way and remove the arm from the turntable each time to prevent possible bearing damage?)
Also what happens if we snap a cartridge wire? New cable loom? Package and ship the entire arm. How long? Another 6 months off-line?
With a Phantom, plug in or order a spare wand and you're good to go?
Hope this proves helpful.
