Graham Phantom vs Triplaner

When I requested that you,Halcro, possibly "post" a product review,of the Copperhead on Audiogon,I was being quite serious,and with no hidden agenda.It seems like a "way cool",and inventive design,and the web-site hasn't got much!From a selfish standpoint.."I just love tonearms",coming in second to the finest MC's,in what enthuses me.
Based on some of your recent enthusiastic comments(eye opening actually),I think "we" would love to see this!!
The arm is priced in the ballpark,for some to seriously consider,and since the recent product review in Stereophile was a "combo plate",of arm/table,a dedicated review,by someone with experience would be invited,and appreciated by many.At the very least,me!!
Of course this is asking for quite a bit,and I definitely can't blame you for disregarding a request to do so....I admit I'd probably decline myself...BUT....maybe you might be in such a mood to do so,at some point....."Like soon"-:)
Enjoy!!

Sirspeedy I haven't ignored your request for a review of the Copperhead arm.
As I think I mentioned, I'm waiting to mount my newly arrived Davinci Grandezza 12" Ref to see just how good the Copperhead is against what I consider to be formidable opposition.
The armboard for the Raven will not be here for another 10 days and then I need to give the armcable at least 100 hours to break-in (that's how long the Copperhead took).
So unfortunately a review is many weeks away.....but it will include a comparison on the Raven AC-1 and Raven AC-3.

Halcro,NOW a 12 inch DaVinci TOO? You're such a tease! -:)

Mr Mai does not give or loan tonearms. There were so many at CES this and every year because the people in this business want the very best to demo their product. They pick Triplanar. With their wallets! Z.

Good point, Z. Of course one should also consider that the easily adjustable, repeatable VTA & VTF adjustments make it easier to optimize for varying weather, humidity, LP thickness, etc, which allows for the associated equipment to be shown at its best advantage. IOW, it might be the best value arm that's widely adaptable to changing conditions. Not that I do not think it is a great arm. I haven't heard that many, but it is a great arm!
