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?

Sorry Frank. I did not see your post before I submitted mine. I should have enough slop in the hole of my arm board to make up 1 mm. If not it can be made up at the headshell I assume?

Thank you, Frank. Unfortunately for my bank account, you've removed one reason for not buying an LT. Congratulations to you for the inherent rightness and simplicity of your idea. You might suggest to Xactaudio that they should explain the presence of that cylinder supporting your tonearm in the photos. (Maybe they did; sometimes I am a sloppy reader.)
Pretty gutsy of the guy who own the arm in picture 1-4….no cueing device installed.
Brf, That was an early prototype. They had not yet designed an arm lift at that point.
