Graham Engineering
USA
Graham Engineering is an American analogue manufacturer best known for high-end tonearms, particularly the Phantom series.
Designed by Bob Graham, the Phantom tonearms are built around precision adjustability, bearing quality and repeatable cartridge setup, with models such as the Phantom III and Phantom Elite widely used on serious reference turntables.
Graham’s key technical distinction is the patented Magneglide stabilising system, which uses magnetic stabilisation to improve lateral stability while allowing free vertical movement. Combined with removable armwands, precise alignment tools and high-quality bearing construction, Graham tonearms are especially valuable for listeners who want accurate cartridge setup, repeatable adjustment and excellent tracking performance.

The Graham Engineering Phantom Platinum is the flagship expression of the Phantom unipivot tonearm, engineered to minimise friction, resonance and mechanical interference while preserving exceptional tracking stability. Its patented Magneglide magnetic stabilisation system provides the stability of a fixed-bearing design while retaining the extremely low-friction movement of a single-point bearing, with Neutral Balance geometry maintaining consistent tracking force as the cartridge follows record warps.
A custom carbon-fibre armwand combines exceptionally high rigidity with low mass and effective internal damping, partnered with a lightweight magnesium headshell to further reduce mass at the cartridge end of the arm. At its heart is a precision Swiss-manufactured matched tungsten-carbide bearing with a microscopically polished pivot and matching cup, surrounded by specialised silicone damping fluid. Upgraded 4N silver-plated copper internal wiring, removable armwands and comprehensive cartridge adjustment complete Graham Engineering’s most advanced tonearm design.
