Schroeder versus Tri-Planar


I've got a Graham 2.2 and I love it, but I'd also love to try a truly high-quality gimbaled arm. I'm curious whether there are people who have heard the Schroeder Model 1 and the Tri-Planar Model VII. The reviews on each are superb.

However Chris Brady on the Teres site describes the Tri-Planar as a bit bright and analytical - qualities I hate in audio equipment. He also describes the Schroeder as loose in the bass - not a good thing either, though he hypothesizes that the wood arm wands might alleviate that problem.

any experiences folks? Patrick

I own the Schroder Model 1.It has been mounted with a Clearaudio Ref. and a Myabi.Neither was loose in the bass.It is a stellar performer.Maybe the effect was due to a mismatch else where.I have not heard/owned the Triplanar since the 4.5 version,can't weigh in on that arm.
