Schröder Tonearm

Tawa,

My stock original Carbon Fibre wand Model 2 is great. I've had it for about 6-7 years now and it runs my Allaerts MC1B and I'm very happy with it. No need to change unless I unexpectedly come into stacks of cash. If I did, Frank has previously informed me that I can send my Model 2 back to him to be upgraded. Mind you, if I came into the cash, I think I'd just place an order for a SQ and join the back of a very long queue.

Most Tonearms guide a cartridge, here it is the other way. Listening to uncompressed music via this Design is like driving a car with 3 wheels.

I can't stand it, that you don't love me. Is it necessary to have Designers as a friend? For what? Does it make an average Design any better? Does it sound better when getting something for a "friendly" price? I don't care.
In a way, it is ok for me, that no Designer from anything of my System is a personal friend. I can live with that. I prefer knowledge.

Buddy - Frank aint my friend. I just like the sound. And yes I do have respect for some gifted designers. And others I don't but I keep my prejudices aside, something you can never do. I guess you are just better than all of us. Your ears are better. Your knowledge superior. Etc etc.

But poor guy could never learn to set up a Schroder and make it sound right. Too bad. Stick with your Phantom, a great design with inherently easy setup. I have made quibbles in reference to the Schroder pains for setup etc. But it does sound glorious. But not with a warm cartridge. Too much of a good thing.
