Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences


All,

I have read a lot of threads regarding the "superiortiy" of these tonearms in the right combinations of tables and catridges. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot said about the soncic characteristics of each brand and the differences between them. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about their strengths and weaknesses, sonci characteristics, applicability to various types of music (rock, pop, classical, large scale, small scale, etc).

Will a Schroeder deliver dynamics, punch, bass suited to Rock music? Will a Triplanar deliver natural, timbral accuracy? Are both these arms suited to the same music?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

I have a photo of a new Schroder Reference SQ but I don't know how to upload it. It is gorgeous. You must see it to believe it. I know it will be displayed on the TW Acustic Raven at a show, but I am not sure which show. It comes with Nordost, internal silver wiring. He will be using a Tron Seven phono stage and Dynavector XV-1s.
Hi Dgad,
well the new Schroeder SQ has also the new wiring from
nordost. I have heard this match Schroeder / Raven AC / XV1-S / Tron 7 at the German AAAnalog day in Frankfurt.

Rwd,

VTV stands for Vacume Tube Valley, a website/magazine dedicated to tube electronics. Look here for the offical VTV Show webpage

Great show, I attended the last one in Los Angeles not too long ago. Small crowds, so it is easy to get into manufacturers rooms and hangout for extended periods of time.
Karl-Heinz,
I love the wood on the Schroder SQ. I wonder which wood people prefer, both for looks & sound. thanks for the links & photos.
WoW!! Thank you Dark and Dgad!! I will definitely be attending!!
I also love to see the new Schroder. P.S. Is the SQ a new designed arm? Is it replacing the DPS or Reference?
Boy, my mouth is watering!! So many tubes and TT's and arms....all to fill my needs.
Who else will be attending? Possible we could all meet for lunch/breakfast/dinner and chat and compare ideas?
