New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?


I noticed Frank Schroeder has a new linear arm without servo motors, pumps, etc. seems like a promising direction. Did anyone hear it at RMAF?

lewm, I think sarcher30 hits it about right. All I know is this arm makes some seriously beautiful music...I feel like I have a whole new vinyl front end...not just a arm... it's pretty impressive...honestly I was a ways down the road on a very pricey phono stage...thinking that was my next step...now I no longer feel I need to upgrade my phono...so in this context...it's actually the lower and better priced alternative.

I have some pics on my system page for those interested...
Thanks for the photos, but I would really like to see a video of the arm in action, showing how the pivot point moves. Is there anything on YouTube?
On another forum I got a request for this to...will try and record something tomorrow...Thinking I need to find my tripod and clamp the camera to it...either a few pics or try the video on it...
Hi,

Here is a youtube video link from this past RMAF that "might" give you a better feel for how the Schroeder LT arm operates.

I also have the arm installed on my Beat TT and I would echo what John has said about the sonic performance of the arm. I've tried to describe as best I could what I hear with the LT arm on my system page.

Hope that helps a little.
