New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?


I noticed Frank Schroeder has a new linear arm without servo motors, pumps, etc. seems like a promising direction. Did anyone hear it at RMAF?

Right Crubio....there are 2 bottom lines here. How does it sound, and how dependable is it over time. (damage if any to cartridge)
...but is it worth it. Would the less than bat eared audiophile be able to hear the difference between the very slight error of today's arms compared to this arm. Can you reading these posts distinguish between a 9 and 10 inch version of the same arm?
John.... Maybe you DO have bat ears, Sherlock is fiction, too many variables in the Fremer test, maybe the (probably) Walker had a more open sound due to less resonance et al that pleased you..... I stand by my question.
Hi John... here's another test for yourself... can you tell which is the VPI Traveler, and which is the Caliburn. Go to Analogue Planet, and download the flac files that Fremer supplies comparing 10 turntables/cartridges. You might find it interesting. (I think its on the 3rd page.)
