| | Stereophile: Graham Engineering Phantom B-44 tonearm |
 | | The Graham Engineering 1.5 tonearm, originally introduced in 1990, was a thoughtfully executed design that logically addressed all of the basics of good tonearm performancegeometry, resonance control, rigidity, dynamic stabilitywith effective, sometimes ingenious ideas, while providing exceptional ease and flexibility of setup. |
 | | Bob Graham responded that he'd paid particular attention to reducing the amplitude of the arm/cartridge combination's inevitable low-frequency resonant peak by carefully tuning and decoupling the counterweight, and that some listeners were mistaking the result for an absence of deep bass. |
 | | Graham carefully thought through his original design and concluded that its basic concepts were still soundthe new arm differs from the old mostly in Graham's execution of those concepts and in terms of sheer scale, along with the primary invention of magnetic stabilization. |
