Schröder Tonearm


Anyone have any thoughts concerning Frank Schröders Tonearms,especially the No 2,now that they have been around for quite a while.
How have they stood the test of time ?
Thanks, Tawa

Syntax,

Don't get me going. You are way off on this. Most cartridges guide the arm. The ones with sticky bearings mess it up. And there are many to that effect. If you have nothing good to say (of course a fellow German designer who is not your friend) then stay shut. You can say some smart things but get off of your attack to never end.
Buddy - Frank aint my friend. I just like the sound. And yes I do have respect for some gifted designers. And others I don't but I keep my prejudices aside, something you can never do. I guess you are just better than all of us. Your ears are better. Your knowledge superior. Etc etc.

But poor guy could never learn to set up a Schroder and make it sound right. Too bad. Stick with your Phantom, a great design with inherently easy setup. I have made quibbles in reference to the Schroder pains for setup etc. But it does sound glorious. But not with a warm cartridge. Too much of a good thing.
Raul,

Agreed! It is all about synergies. This I learned from you and then from experience. There are no absolutes in terms of system synergy.
Nothing special. Just more into Wiggles & Work these days. Lots of great sound out there.
