Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm


In a high res setup has anyone been able to compare this arm to the top pivoting competition.I think that the fact that the pivot is magnetic as opposedto a bearing like a unipivot(needing damping) should on paper be less resonant and maybe sound better.I currently own,and,am happy with a Graham 2.2,but the idea of a true frictionless bearing (all bearings have some degree of friction)really could make a real difference in a good setup.I'm not interested at the moment in straight line trackers with air bearings (although I love some of them)due to the hassle of external pumps and tubing runs.

Raul,counting people thread without looking the activation date is meaningless.

Mine is 112 (Aug 2001) and yours is 52 (April 2004)??

Looking people thread to show how stupid they are and how smart your are is showed your real attitude.
Dear Frank

If you could quickly answer a question for me I would greatly appreciate it.
I am having a local machinist make me an armboard for a new tonearm. The armboard I have is brass. What do you think would happen to the sound it I changed in to a metal like Stainless Steel or Aluminum or Titanium.
Which would be good or bad in you experience.
Also do you have a Canadian Distributor.

Hi Paul,
It depends upon the arm you intend to mount(among other things the material it is made of). Some will sound better on the aluminum board, others you´ll prefer when mounted on the brass board(all dimensions being equal..)
I´ve yet to hear a stainless(plain,undamped) armboard, but high internal damping isn´t exactly it´s main property. Bearing bronze or "Grauguss" (a type of cast iron, unfortunately ferromagnetic) would be far preferable.
Anything against CLD armboards? Hardwood/Aluminum and many other options to choose from. Sorry, this might not be the answer you´ve been looking for.

Cheers,

Frank
Dear Sirspeedy: I'm sorry for my answers that produce all this " theatre ". I hope you are not dissapointg on your issue.
If you give us more information on your audio system, the kind of music that you usually listen and maybe what do you don't like it in the music reproduction on your analog rig, then I'm sure that we can help you.
I think that all of us will be very glad to hear from you very soon.
Best wishes and enjoy the music.

Teres and Audio999: First, I don't attack to anyone, I only put the facts ( you Audio999 and the others guys attack me, read their answers ). I think that you, still, don't understand my points of view, so you have a problem.
Other thing: I can't understand why you give answers for Doug. I think that he can do it, but maybe he has not any answer any more, about.
Don't be angry ( it is not to be personal: open your mind ) and don't think for a moment that you can attack to me with out any reaction.
BTW, what do that a forum goes growing up are the differents and experienced points of view of the people and that that point of view really help to the people. We all have many things to learn here, if we all can do it: great, if not, well.........
Regards and enjoy the music.
