I knew Sid for many years after my intitial tonearm design - the first-effort"Excalibur"- was picked up by McIntosh to sell as a product. Traveling to Binghamton several times, I got to know Sid, Gordon, Maurice and Roger, all in the design or administrative departments. All were wondeful...
wish I could have been there too. The system looks spectactular, even if I'm essentially complimenting my own Elite arm in the process..!! There may be one or two eventually appearing in the U.S, so maybe the lucky owner(s) can sell tickets to help pay for it..!
In the meantime, there's the...

Thank you for the gracious and appreciated note, Mike. Please be assured I was mainly trying to clarify a few points about the counterweight and related matters - although I admit I jumped the tracks when it came to discussing Facebook, which I feel is potentiallly dangerous place to nest...
Well, well well.... It seems as though it's not always easy to reach me. And sometimes that's true, as we are a very (and I mean VERY) small shop. Except for my two daughters who build them (feminine hands and eyes are far superior to most men's - especially mine these days) I am alone in...
Welcome to the forum..! As for the B-44, it was the first in our Phantom series, and although it had a lot of the core ideas of later models, and my best effort at the time, I've discovered ways to make the arm better. Hence, the Phantom II and III, etc (not to mention the big step forward...
Many thanks to everyone for the support..! (I'm sorry that HiFi Guy had to go through a tough time, but glad he's still with us. ) Life IS to short, so we have to enjoy what we can (music helps!), and of course, try to love our neighbor. Even in tough times like these... And I'll be at...
Just checking in again after too long an absence. I'm sorry that any questions were left unanswered, but in late October/November I became quite ill with a virus which then expanded into pneumonia. About a week in the hospital then a long-ish recovery period to get back in shape, so I've...
Let us not forget that the Air Force 3 will be shown with the Graham Phantom tonearms and also the TechDAS TDC-01t phono cartridge. I'll also have some literature there, and will be glad to speak with everyone regarding the entire TechDAS line, including the new Air Force 3/Premium, the...
I'll do what I can, but plz remember this is a new product for me too - They are not yet available for general sale, but should be sometime in the next few months. I have yet to see one in person and take photos.. But I will...!
- Whoops! a typo - on the note about the Phantom arms I should have included it to say ALL TechDAS turntable + Phantom or Phantom Elite arms would qualify for a package discount, not just the AF-1 series....
As you may know, we're building up a new website which will have lots of information and other goodies on it. But for now, here are the U.S. prices for the turntables:
AF-3 $29K
AF-3/P $36k
AF-2 $53k
AF-2/P $62k
AF-1 $105k
AF-1/P $143k (with aluminum upper platter top)
AF-1/P...
Many thanks for the kind words... It is an equally happy relationship for me, both to have such excellent representation and rapport in NYC, and to work with Nishikawa-san for these remarkable turntables...
