Graham Phantom damping fluid level.
My whole point is that you can't leave a message. His voicebox is full. BTW my serial number is 3280. I can't imagine the isues one would have with a low profile cartridge like a 17D3. That thing is very squat.

I just took possession of mine. It is brande new. Thank you Tshulba

Has anyone tried contacting Graham Engineering? Last I called, the voicebox was full and email has been unresponsive. When I received my arm, it was SME mount and I wanted a template. I had to resort to buying a new armboard from TW for my Raven One.

Strangely mine did not come with a spacer and I am out of VTA down VTA travel as well.

Just got my Phantom mounted. I'm assuming you're using Magneglide at 3 ticks. 
Sending my Linn LP 12 Transcription Globally
You can buy a Linn LP12 box. It's around $95. I bought one to ship my LP12 when I sold it last year. You have to take the arm off though. I shipped mine arm, lid, platter off. Left the counterweight on the arm. Lingo had to go in a separate box. 
To Raven One owners.....
You would be best served to call Jeff at High Water Sound if you are located in North America. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. 212.608.8841 FWIW, I started with a Vivid arm as well and my Graham is on its way a year later. I would say t... 
To Raven One owners.....
I went from a 1989 Lp12/Akito/ATOC9 cartridge, over the years upgrading to Lp12/Lingo/Cirkus/Ekos/Troika ending 2007. My Raven One, Vivid arm (Graham Phantom is late coming), and newly acquired XX2 MkII is far and away a superior source component....

thank you. it is not my intent to create controversy. i just wanted to make sure my phonostage is compatible with what appears to be a ground breaking design. 
What is a passive preamp?
there is no active gain in a passive preamp. it's just an attenuator with switching capability. so you can select the input source and turn the volume down but not up. since there is no active circuits, many believe the sound to be of utmost trans... 
Balanced SET Amplifier
I only listen to vinyl so I use stepped attenuators with no preamp. I would ideally be looking for 8 to maybe 20 amps in SET. It needs to be balanced, ideally truly dual differential not just single ended with XLR connectors. 
Balanced SET Amplifier
I'm lusting for an SET amp and Zu Presence or Devore Gibbon Nines but my phonostage is balanced. One of the Zu guys used the Melody 300B monoblock but in push pull. The Melody line looks promising and well priced.

I thought the whole point of magneglide was to keep azimuth stable or the stylus from rocking inside the groove. Apparently this is one of the so called inherent flaws of unipivots. So the magneglide and silicon fluid do similar but not the same t...

What about the magnetic azimuth damping? Does this affect the fluid level? How critical is the fluid level when things like vta will change depending on record thickness. Personally I'm a set and forget type of listener.

Would you know the output impedance?
