Orbe SE:

                              http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk/turntables/orbese/

By eliminating much of the expensive acrylic, the Michell Orbe SE
offers most of the Orbe’s qualities in a cheaper, smaller, and to some
people aesthetically more pleasing package. An Orbe SE can always be
upgraded to a full Orbe by purchasing the double plinth and dustcover.
When teamed with an RB250 or RB300 tonearm, the Orbe SE is a
surprisingly affordable entry to the Orbe-class of performance.

STEREOPHILE's Conclusion:

Conclusion
The Graham 2.0 is clearly one of the finest
tonearms in the world, and it has been updated and improved in the past
few years. Can it be further improved? Perhaps. But as it is now, out of
the box it offers a level of analog performance that puts it at the top
of the heap, along with just a few other Class A arms. Earlier versions
are upgradeable to the current version. In the case of the Graham 1.5,
upgrading is very worthwhile.

The Graham arm offers a
variety of strengths, including "first event" resolution of detail,
explosive dynamics, overall transparency, tightly focused
three-dimensional imaging, and accurate soundstaging depth and width. It
is also timbrally neutral or slightly on the lean side, depending on
your tastes and/or associated interconnects. Rich- and
voluptuous-sounding it ain't, nor is the Immedia. The Graham comes with
the easiest-to-use, most accurate setup jig I've ever used, and tools.
An upgradeable "basic" arm—with aluminum armtube, brass side weights,
and no tools or setup jig—is also available, for about $1000 less than
the 2.0.

As always, issues of taste are involved here. I found
the Graham to be among the most neutral, revealing, musically involving,
and exciting arms I've heard. Others who've listened with me have found
it somewhat cool and analytical, and lacking in emotional involvement.
You've heard these arguments many times before in the perennial
audiophile controversies—tubes vs transistors, digital vs analog, metal-domed tweeters vs cloth, etc.—and you probably know audiophiles who come down on either side of the debate.

These observations should be taken as general characteristics on a
sliding scale, and not as definitive—associated equipment and personal
taste, musical and otherwise, will affect the final result in your
system. How much easier it would be to make sweeping pronouncements
about which sounds the most like "live" music, about which is the
"express ticket" to analog nirvana. You won't hear those from me. Both
the Graham and Triplanar are well-engineered arms do a good job of
extracting the information from the grooves. They both "make music."
