New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?

Mark is right about the design's "exquisitely elegant simplicity." And this picture gives you all the clues on the design of its tangential guiding mechanism.

I finally found some real world comparison from a fellow member Atif, with permission:
"I have both the Schroeder SQ for my mono setup and the Schroeder LT for my stereo. Both arms are excellent. Very dynamic and naturalsounding. Tonally perfect and airy and 3-dimentional. The LT has more weight and authority in the base. It also does everything at least a little better than the Sq especially in the inner grooves of a record. I've been a happy longtime customer of Mr. Schroeder."

Hi, Babybear and myself recently purchased these arms and installed in our systems. We both posted comments on our system page threads...in a nutshell, it's a amazing sounding arm...

Jfrech,
I was thinking about the Schroeder arm (and working up a desire for one, if only I could afford it). I would imagine that setting the P2S distance for this tonearm is VERY critical to get the most out of it. Otherwise, you have a tonearm that is "never right". Is that your experience?

Lewm,
That sounds logical. It's not quite the same as being a little off on overhang with a normal pivoted arm. On a LT arm if you are a little off it will be off the same amount all the way across the record unlike a normal pivoting arm.

The cartridge can be adjusted back and forth in the headshell on the Schroeder LT to make up for any error with pivot to spindle distance. As long as the P2S distance is not so far off that you run out of adjustability at the headshell you will be ok.
