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.

If someone sends me a Schroder (sorry, no umlaut) Reference to try, I'll say more than eureka! :-)

I was just making a lame attempt at humor, Raul. I think I need to improve my circle of friends in order to find one who would send me a Reference arm, though! Ha!

Was rather hoping that Frank would share his thoughts on CLD materials, but that hope has dimmed.

Regards and enjoy the music.

I've got one more question for this thread: Where can you get a Schroeder? I mean actually go see one. Or is this not possible becuse Frank hand builds each one? How much is each one? Frank, talk to me!

I must be having a bad internet day, can't find a damn thing.
