Graham Engineering Graham Engineering Elite Phantom 9 inches

At €5,500, this Graham Engineering Elite Phantom 9‑inch tonearm is a clear bargain compared to the obvious alternative of buying a used Phantom III SE, which typically starts around £10,990 (roughly €12,800) new and far above this used price. The listing sits just under the €5,786 median of eight recent EUR comparable asking prices, and well above the 25th percentile of €3,621, making it a fair-to-excellent deal rather than a deep discount, but still solid value for a top-tier uni‑pivot arm.

The Elite Phantom is revered for its ultra‑low bearing friction, magnetic stabilization, and precise VTA/azimuth control, delivering a clean, dynamic sound with minimal resonance. At this price, you’re getting a well‑regarded, original‑owner 9‑inch arm in good condition with the full adjustment toolkit from the manual, including the hex wrench for VTA and the inside‑force‑canceler weight—no missing accessories flagged. For enthusiasts chasing high‑end analog performance without the Phantom III SE’s new‑price sticker shock, this is a timely buying opportunity.
