Graham Engineering Phantom Elite Tonearm
Precision-engineered for ultimate analog performance
We proudly present the Phantom Elite—the most advanced evolution of Graham Engineering’s award-winning tonearm design. Retaining the hallmark unipivot bearing and patented Magneglide™ magnetic stabilization, the Elite takes these innovations to a new level of refinement, offering unmatched accuracy and musicality in analog playback.
Redesigned for Absolute Precision
At its core, the Elite features a completely reengineered pivot assembly. Constructed with constrained-layer damping using dual high-mass metals and a dense, non-magnetic tungsten insert, the tonearm achieves zero-tolerance bearing contact and exceptional vibration control. This ensures ultra-low friction, chatter-free movement, and superior energy rejection.
True Neutral Balance with Magneglide™ Stabilization
The patented Magneglide™ system guarantees vertical pivoting with no azimuth deviation—even across warped records. Thanks to its neutral balance design, tracking force remains consistent regardless of groove modulation, delivering precise, unwavering playback performance.
Versatile Installation & Cartridge Alignment
The Elite’s removable titanium armtube—larger and more rigid than its predecessor—enables off-deck cartridge mounting and alignment for maximum safety and accuracy. With an adjustable-height alignment gauge and a choice of 9”, 10”, or 12” armwands, the Elite suits virtually any turntable setup with ease.
Clean, Dynamic Sound with Zero Resonance
Unlike conventional tonearms, the Elite’s decoupled counterweight operates at a subsonic resonant frequency, eliminating audio-band coloration. The result is ultra-clean bass, a rich, open midrange, and extended, crystal-clear highs—delivered without imparting any sonic signature of its own.
Ultra-Transparent Signal Transfer
Upgraded internal Litz wiring and high-speed phono cabling offer near-perfect dielectric performance, preserving the purity of your signal from cartridge to preamp. This ensures lightning-fast transients and an authentic, unaltered musical presentation.
Experience the Elite Difference
Every element of the Phantom Elite has been refined to extract the most detail, emotion, and realism from your vinyl collection. Designed for true analog connoisseurs, it offers the smoothest, most dynamic, and most accurate playback path available today.
