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.
lewm, I think sarcher30 hits it about right. All I know is this arm makes some seriously beautiful music...I feel like I have a whole new vinyl front end...not just a arm... it's pretty impressive...honestly I was a ways down the road on a very pricey phono stage...thinking that was my next step...now I no longer feel I need to upgrade my phono...so in this context...it's actually the lower and better priced alternative.
I have some pics on my system page for those interested...
