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.

Wow! Raul, your acquaintance could be my friend anytime!

But he must hold you in pretty high esteem to just send you a Schroder!

I'd like to read what you think about it!

Regards,
George

Doug,

Thanks for the links. I actually found the Galibier site on an AA post. That looks to be the place to buy.

Hi everyone,
Sorry, I was/am busy setting up/demoing turntables at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I'm going to be on my way again shortly, so you'll have to wait sometime longer for a CLD related response. Raul, please send me a message with the serial# of the arm once you've received it. I can then tell you it's effective mass,length and give you an idea for the range of carts it will work best with.

Have fun,

Frank
