Graham Engineering Unveils the Phantom III SE Tonearm: A Masterpiece for Vinyl Enthusiasts
Graham Engineering has unveiled the Phantom III SE, an ultimate tonearm crafted from high-grade titanium. Renowned for its innovative single-joint designs since the 1980s, Bob Graham continues to push the boundaries of analog audio with this latest offering. Available in 9, 10, and 12-inch lengths, the Phantom III SE is versatile enough to complement virtually any turntable setup.
Each component of the Phantom III SE is meticulously selected to achieve exceptional damping and maximum rigidity. The tonearm features a conical profile tube, reducing weight at the end without compromising structural integrity. The use of lightweight titanium not only ensures durability and high tensile strength but also contributes to the overall stiffness of the arm, enhancing tracking precision.
A standout feature of the Phantom III SE is the patented Magneglide stabilization system. This advanced technology provides precise vertical tracking without azimuth deviation, ensuring accurate playback and minimal distortion. The internal construction includes silver-plated copper wiring within the tonearm tube, optimizing signal flow and reducing acoustic interference. Additionally, the tonearm incorporates a specialized mechanism for rapid and precise VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) adjustments, further refining playback accuracy.
Designed for optimal neutrality and exact groove tracing, the Phantom III SE emphasizes reduced micro-vibrations and enhanced damping. This attention to detail ensures that the sound quality remains exceptionally high, allowing vinyl enthusiasts to experience their records with clarity and depth. The modular design accommodates various cartridges, providing flexibility for different audio preferences and configurations.
Set to be available in March 2025, the Graham Phantom III SE promises to be a significant addition to high-end audio setups. With a starting price of €15,600, it reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and advanced engineering that Graham Engineering is known for. Audiophiles seeking precision and excellence in their vinyl playback will find the Phantom III SE to be a worthy investment.
