Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm

Frank, Did you make tonearms with magnetic damping since 1978? If your current tonearm was in the market 20 years ago, there would not be any gimbal nor unipivot tonearm designs. I also found that the gap between the magnets can be changed to compensate for the magnetic field strength in order to obtain the desired damping effects. The skating torque can also be independently adjustable regardless of the magnetic field strength. I guessed you already know those. I also noted that tonearm builders like music instrument makers. They both bring music to live.

Thomas, I really hate to have to call you on this but you know you haven't had a Schroeder arm in your system. If you recall what you heard was a Schroeder No.1 (not Reference) with a Miyabi on my Debut in a totally unknown system at a show in a hotel. But even then you commented you thought it was much better than the Graham 2.0.

I also feel it was vastly better than my Graham 2.0 which I used for years on that TT. On my current TT I have used the No.2 and Reference but not a Graham so you didn't hear any direct comparison in my system either.

In all fairness to Frank Schroeder I don't think you should report on a direct comparison I don't think you have made.

Sorry, but fair is fair.

No problem.
I listened to various set ups with Schroeder. Some months ago there was a visit here from another Basis owner, he had a Schroeder with the armboard from a Basis. He wanted to listen to a Miyabi ( and the Pass amps ), so we made it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you were referring to the time you heard it in Stuttgart.

The only Debut/Schroeder I knew of was T. Jahn. Who is the other guy?

He is mainly living in Switzerland, but some time ago he sold the whole Table and went for a Vyger.
