Phil,

If you are looking to get much more out of your analog front end then consider upgrading to the Basis 2800 vacuum turntable (+ Calibrator base and arm wire guide) with either the Basis Vector Model 4 or Graham Phantom tonearms with the ZYX UNIverse cartridge into the ZYX Artisan battery phono stage.

You will not be disappointed.

I replaced the 2.2 with the Phantom and the differences are not subtle. It is a real step forward.
But the 2.2 is a very good Arm, there is much worse out there, no reason for sleepless nights.

Do you think the Phantom is mutch better than the 2.2 de luxe? It is a good investment? Well I don´t know but it seems the differences are litle and the money need are not litle. But give me your opinion. Nice system you have.
Thanks
