Graham Engineering Phantom III

In Another, Altogether Higher Level of Performance

Phantom III is the same specification as the Phantom II, but has an updated arm wand, new internal wiring for arm wand and bearing housing.

The Phantom III has exceeded our highest expectations, surpassing even the highly-rated Phantom II. And when compared to other tonearms on the market, tests and preliminary user comments have confirmed that the Phantom III is in another, altogether higher level of performance.

Compared to the original Phantom, as well as the Series II, the III has a similar outward appearance, but has important internal differences. In addition to the refined Magneglide (tm) stabilizer, new internal wiring for even better detail and improved freedom from any mechanical resistance, an upgraded pivot design for even greater dynamics, and a new titanium armwand, the III has incorporated a new pivot housing assembly.

This assembly, comprised of a constrained layer combination of brass and tungsten, provides greater energy control and damping, along with improved bearing performance. Incorporating a slightly reshaped counterweight to allow for great cartridge weight ranges and lower moment of inertia, the result is greater transparency, broader soundstaging (both side to side and front to back), with greater bass impact and extension.

Combined, these refinements yield greater performance in the areas of thundering dynamics and sheer musicality, while retaining the delicacy of detail, quality and convenience features the earlier Phantom was noted for.

A tonearm with Stable Balance can be identified by measuring the tracking force at the record surface level and again at a raised position above the record. If the tracking force INCREASES at the higher position, the arm has Stable Balance. Our own previous designs - the best we could make at that time - also had this limitation due to the use of side weights to provide lateral stability.

Other unipivots with low-slung counterweights will all exhibit this force; the lower the weight, the more counter-force is applied. Although this technique is often promoted as a "high-stability" design, it does so at the expense of consistent tracking force and linear cartridge performance. . It actually results in varying tracking forces during play when traversing even small warps, accompanied by non-linear cartridge operation, and increased record wear.

Once Neutral Balance is chosen for use in a unipivot tonearm, one must remember that both the vertical and lateral planes will be affected the same way; without proper lateral stability, such a design would not have consistent, proper vertical alignment, and the pivot would tend to flop over to one side or another (usually in the direction of the weighted cartridge offset angle mounting). Obviously this condition must be avoided.

The answer to this lies at the very heart of the Phantom's design and its unique ability to retrieve groove information unprecedented, we believe, in tonearm design. The key to this achievement is a 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

In combination with pivot fluid damping (similar to that used with the Model 2.2), the Magneglide (TM) system allows normal vertical pivoting of the tonearm in true Neutral Balance, with vanishingly low friction; yet, provides a strong lateral stability that feels almost like fixed bearing arms. (No wobbling of the arm as it is lifted, for instance).

In addition, this dual-damped system forces the Phantom to pivot in the correct vertical plane of the stylus tip, with no rotation as the arm is raised. No regular unipivot can achieve this important geometric requirement. Even a few fixed bearing arms don't get this right!

If the vertical motion of the tonearm is in plane of the armtube itself (and not the correct plane of the stylus face angle), the cartridge will tend to tip over to its side as the arm is raised, as when tracking over warps. This will cause noticeable channel imbalance and reduced tracking accuracy.

Reputable, reasonably priced fuel additive to clean valves, with handy dispenser. Not all comes out.
Size: 300 Milliliter, Size: 300 Milliliter
Honest review of Liqui Moly 2007 Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner - 300 ml , blue @ $8.68 at time of order. I recently acquired a 2002 Ford Taurus with the 3.0L V6 and DOHC. It only had about 131,000 miles on it, but I noticed it seemed like there would be some intermittent misses in the firing. Other than oil changes, I do not believe that this vehicle was mechanically well maintained. After some research and reading reviews of products, I opted to try some injection cleaner as one step in a treatment regimen. I will endeavor to update this review with results after giving it time to work. Likes: Amazon Prime shipping, returns and refunds within 30 days of receipt. Reputable product. The price point seemed reasonable, especially if it works as advertised (10.1 ounces, single treatment can). Comes with dispensing attachment for easier pouring. Dislikes: The design of the can and pouring mechanism left a small amount of product inside the can of valve cleaner. Even completely inverting the can it wouldn’t come out. Granted, it wasn’t a whole lot, but I paid for all of it, not for some left in the can that wouldn’t even shake out. Sorry if this sounds nitpicky, but it is also a problem for disposal afterwards as it has to sit out and evaporate or put it in the trash with flammable liquid inside. Meh: I have put several miles on since adding this to just over a quarter tank of fuel and have not noticed any improvements. I realize it might take a while longer perhaps. Hopefully this honest review helps someone decide about this product.

Helped smooth engine idle and acceleration
Size: 300 Milliliter
Bought a new to me bmw and this stuff made it run smoother definitely helped clean things up internally car has a smoother throttle response and sounds smoother at idle will definitely be using as recommended to keep injectors and internals cleaner

This stuff really works fast and improves mpg like you won’t believe
Size: 300 Milliliter
I’ve tried many other types of fuel injector cleaners but this brand is amazing. I ran my truck down to less than a quarter of a tank of gas and poured it into the tank. I then drove 30 miles to an appointment and spent an hour in the appointment on the way home I noticed my mpg had gone up significantly. My truck tells me how many miles per gallon. I’m getting as I drive. I had gotten a code and I replaced the mass air filter and found a slight crack in an air hose, which I replaced that help with my code a little bit, but cleaning the fuel injectors with this product made such a significant difference. I just simply had a hard time believing it, but it’s true. I’m done with all those other brands of fuel injector cleaners which never really seemed to help much if you really want an amazing experience give this product to try.
