Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences


All,

I have read a lot of threads regarding the "superiortiy" of these tonearms in the right combinations of tables and catridges. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot said about the soncic characteristics of each brand and the differences between them. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about their strengths and weaknesses, sonci characteristics, applicability to various types of music (rock, pop, classical, large scale, small scale, etc).

Will a Schroeder deliver dynamics, punch, bass suited to Rock music? Will a Triplanar deliver natural, timbral accuracy? Are both these arms suited to the same music?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

I have owned the VPI HRX with periphery clamp for a few years now and had no problems whatsoever and it enhances the longeivity of any cartridge you use.

I think you guys are paranoid about trashing a cartridge using the periphery clamp. How old are all you guys - in your 70's?? :)

seriously thou you have more chance of trashing your cartridge when fitting it to or taking it off your arms than with the periphery clamp.
