“A real Game Changer, the only system of its kind in the world”

A working partnership with Graham Engineering supplies the TTW Audio Turntable direct from the factory with a specially made version of the Graham Phantom tone arm. This new model incorporates the newest features of the Phantom series. Utilizing the best technology available from Graham, and employing the built-in new high precision VTA adjustment system of the TT Weights turntables this provides a one-of-a-kind synergy. Being specially tuned and balanced for the VTA Glider Pod System Graham Engineering and TTWeights, this is the most unique pairing and assures the assimilation of the best designs in the analogue world today


Key Features of the VTA/SRA Glider Phantom System

The VTA Pod is 21.9 lbs, three components system with internal grease filled dampening
Simply turn the VTA knob while playing, its that simple
23.9 lbs with tone arm

Can be used with ANY tone arm with or without VTA adjustment
The VTA Piston is a massive 3.35 inch diameter for absolute rigidity with dual locking screws, system can play unlocked without issue if you want to move the arm frequently

The Polycarbonate tone arm interface is custom fit for the new Phantom tone arm
Easy access 90 degree DIN plug to fit any din cable

On the fly VTA adjustment allowing the turntable to be tuned while playing music
Concave base for rigid location, tone arm will never move

.200 inches vertical travel / .600 total adjustment
Optional Digital SRA Indicator

Optional Digital SRA Indicator
Provides quick presets for standard vinyl, 180 gram and 220 gram thickness maintaining perfect stylus rake angle
The digital indicator readout provides .0005 incremental moves for extreme precision and adjustment on the fly
The table can be tuned by recording quality and returned to nominal with the digital readout
True positioning and No guesswork, the cartridge will perform at a much higher level than a standard VTA arm adjustment and you can use your ear while adjusting


The TTW Graham Phantom Supreme II Tone Arm

Includes Arm Positioning Fixture and Cartridge alignment tools
Custom 10 inch arm wand length designed for the TTW turntables and outer ring system
Designed without the Graham VTA system providing a lower center of gravity and post length optimizing the arms rigidity
The armtube is easily removable and using Graham’s patented alignment system
Offers the safety, convenience and accuracy of off-turntable cartridge installation and alignment, as well as allowing quick interchange of multiple pre-mounted cartridges
Attaches to a nearly half-inch wide stainless-steel post-and-connector that supports the armwand under tension, resulting in virtually a one-piece armtube/pivot assembly with high damping
NEUTRAL BALANCE the pivot point and the Center of Gravity of the moving system are in the same plane and when the arm is raised or lowered, there is no opposing force trying to return the arm to a rest position
The pivoting system doesn't really know or care if the stylus is at the record surface level or a half-inch above or below it; as a result, there is no opposing force to the arm as it is traversing record deflection during play. The only downward tracking force is that of the adjustable counterweight, which remains a constant


The Worlds Best Azimuth Adjustment - And Lateral Stability Never Seen in a Pivot Type Arm

The very heart of the Phantom's design and its unique ability to retrieve groove information unprecedented in tonearm design and this is achieved with the magnetic stabilization system which we have called "Magneglide" (TM)

With this unique, patented system, all lateral stability, and a portion of the damping, is provided by powerful neodymium ("rare-earth") magnets, placed in a horizontal line from the pivot point of the tonearm

Cartridges in Co-Operation with Ortofon

We have tested many cartridges over the years and many incredible products, however the Ortofon Line offers the best performance for dollar available. We have done extensive testing and have chosen two MC cartridges (we are testing more) that provide amazing synergy with the VTA Glider System and the Phantom Tone Arm.

Ortofon Cadenza Bronze: Top Performer in the $1500 -$2,000 range, a sweet Cart!

The Cadenza Bronze model is using a Replicant 100 stylus and a conical aluminum cantilever. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold plated 6NX copper wire. Field Stabilizing Element FSE, is used for optimal linearity especially during complex crescendo passages.

Cadenza Bronze is a true high-end reference cartridge, conveying music with supreme precision, impact and dynamics, wow!!!
