Vertere Arm on AF1 Table!

[audioblazer]

By the way the Vertere arm steamrolled over the Supreme arm . If not for the exorbitant price many of us would have want to buy that arm . AFO is a very good TT but its exceptional with Vertere arm . We were listening to it using not so exotic catridges like Zyx omega gold & Allaerts MC1B & it sounded so musical . It's music with soul but soulless with Supreme in that syst

Currently there are 3 owners in Malaysia. Thf99 will probably be the next owner

Does the Supreme sound better than the standard Graham Phantom arm? To what do you attribute the superiority of the Vertere over the Supreme? Do you happen to know which arm most other AF1 owners use?

The Supreme is the current standard offering. It sounds better than previous incarnations. The Elite is Graham's new statement arm ($14k). They are not shipping yet.

Thanks Christian. I was confused. I thought the Supreme was the newest and forgot about the Elite. So it goes Elite, then Supreme, then Phantom. I think I've seen images of the Elite on the AF1 and I mistakenly thought that was the arm that audioblazer said was not as good as the Vertere.

Word on the street is that Bob has finalized the Elite's design. Now the real wait.......

Word on the street is that while not talked about as much as the arm, if at all, Vertere's cables are insanely good......

I'm not sure I can stomach the price.

There is no current phantom only model, it is the Phantom Supreme and now the Phantom Elite.

Correction . I heard the std phantom against vertere . Let's hope Graham elite is as good or better than Vertere. That would be a cheaper path to audio nirvana

I designed it, and the rack too. This is a picture of dmnc02's set up.
