Verdier Graham and Shelter???


I am about to buy a Verdier and my cartidge is a Shelter 901.

Now I am loocking for a tonearm wich could match both Verdier and Shelter.

I know that the Shroeder DPS or REFERENCE could be a possible combo but delivery time is several months.

Is the Graham 2.2 a possibility?

Does somebody have an idea ?

Thanks

If you want a Schroeder Reference, try GT Audio (+44 1895 833099) in the UK (UK Schroeder distributor). He has an ex demo Reference for sale.
Dear Tenmus,
I have Platine Verdier with a GT Audio Battery PSU (which transforms the PV to an even higher plane - similar to the Galibier PSU in the US). I have a Schroeder Model 2 (original carbon wand) and Allaerts MC1B, which works really well. Before that I used my old Hadcock 228 with initially a Decca London Gold and then the Allaerts. I have also heard the PV with a SME 3012 as well as both the Schroeder Reference and DPS. They all sound different, but great. The best value is the Schroeder Model 2, as it is much cheaper than the DPS or Reference and will give you an excellent arm for much less money. I would use the money to buy a Battery PSU as this lowers the noise floor vene further on the PV and increases the dynamic range even further.
As we say in England, 'you pays your money and makes your your choice'.
Good Luck
