Anyone using Schroeder arms? Opinions pls.


Am considering the Schroeder model 2 due to budget constraits. Would welcome any feedback on the arm. Ease of setup. Sound. LP surface noise.

Thanks.

Perhaps that is YOUR level of understanding, oh festering, flatulent feline, but don’t drag the rest of us down to your low level of literacy.

Chris, I heard a Schroeder at a dealer’s during a rather long comparison of arms and tables over a period of several days. I think that the bass “problems” you cite may be table or cartridge combination specific. Maybe such is the case on the Teres. Have you had the opportunity to listen with the Schroeder on other tables? I heard one on a Nottingham Hyperspace, an SME 30/2, and a Clearaudio table which I am presently blanking on with regard to the model. The Schroeder, in these instances, did not produce the loose bass that you describe. To be fair, we were using Koetsu Urushi and Van den Hul Grasshopper so that adds yet another variable, in addition to the table.

I have not heard others express that bass response is a common ailment with the Schroeders. Anyone else find this an issue? It would seem that nearly all of us can find benefit in descriptions given without resorting to insulting and ridiculous analogies.
Yes, there was a custom board drilled. I like the SME arms, myself. Will contact you with further detail.
