DaVinci Tonearm

Thanks for that comparison, Karl-Heinz. I'm curious about how easy cartridge alignment is on the Da Vinci's since there seems to be single wholes for the mounting screws and no slots to allow movement of the cartridge on the head.

Also, how does this tonearm compare with your Phantom and SME V?

Karl-Heinz,

You said above that the DaVinci outperfromed the Schroeder DPS. Further above, you asked Thomashesig why he did not purchase the Schroeder Reference SQ instead of the DaVinci. Do you have experience comparing the SQ to the DV? What is the difference. Do you plan to get one?

HI Dan_ed

The DaVinci arm uses SME style mount. Do the holes are just as SME and the base slide forward or back for proper alignment.

Hi Paul, I did see that adjustment for overhang, but what if the cartridge needs to be twisted slightly to align the stylus in the grooves?

Hi Aoliviero,

well I did just hear the Davinci against the Schroeder
SQ on an AAA-Forum in Germany. But the Cartridges where
quite different, so that the comparision is not worth
mentioning.
I will try to get a Schroeder SQ and will compare both
with the ZYX Universe / Orpheus and Takeda Miyabi on the
Raven AC, with each TA mounted with the same System.
And the same phonostage.
