I can buy any arm in the world and I still choose the Graham Phantom Supreme. No arm has a better and more accurate VTA on the fly scheme other than Graham. Bubble level for repeatable desired VTA for any record thickness in seconds. The sound is that of the records grooves/cart, nothing more. I have both 10" and 12". Go for the 12" if you have the room on the table.
Rilou,

I run the 10", traditional Graham/Linn mount on my clear audio table for mono playback and a 12" on my TechDAS in the rear position for stereo. I am still waiting for production to finish on my Graham Phantom Elite arm 10" that I will run in the TechDAS's main arm position. I have sme mount for the TechDAS. Sme gives you a little fore and aft movement once mounted, whereas the Graham mount has to be drilled perfectly unless you are using a cantilevered arm board like those on the clearaudio innovation.
