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?

Doug,
You nailed it. As to how it sounds, it should satisfy the most discerning audiophile. That would surely include Doug Deacon. ;)
If there's any trickle-down technology I'd like to see happen fast, it's THIS! If Shroder were willing to license the design, it could be mass-produced, making the arm affordable to a wide range of customers. I'd love to see this become the new RB300!

This is such an elegantly simple design that could be fitted to a wide range of turntables. I wonder how long the arm has to be for this dual-pivot to maintain tangential tracking?

I'd love to see this show up on Pro-Ject, Music Hall, Rega, VPI ...

@Frank - are you ready to retire on regular monthly royalty payments? I know some good IP attorneys. ;-)

Mosin, thanks for the props but you mis-spelled "discerning". Having just bought a new house, I'm now among the most "dis-earning" audiophiles.
