Stitch,
You outlined very nicely the pattern that exists with quite many products in audio, I call it Whorish Fear Marketing I can’t say that the same happens with Schroeder arms. I just do not know as I never paid any attention to those arms...

I think it is wider then just Schroeder arms. Did you see ANY discussions about the Sonic Quality of hyped products? [/quote]No. the typical audiophile has the following tatoo onto his forehead "I-buy-I-Am"[quote user="R...

[quote user="Stitch"]All those "discussions" about the Sonic Quality from Schroeder Arms are similar to ask a Blind for the direction.(or to ask for a lab report from the latest hyped DIY unit)[/quote]

[quote user="bernie_f"] The fundamental "problem" of this arm is, that changing one of the three main parameters (VTA, VTF, damping) changes the two others in small increments too. Can make you crazy if you are a "tweaker" not a "listener" [/quote] B...

Hi everyone,
As I said, I never intended to be the advocate of the devil. Now that this thread seemed to have resolved that the Shroder tonearm is either over-hyped, or at any rate that its manufacturer is beneath contempt because of his asso...

Romy, yes it is an interesting subject and one that I have thought quite a bit about although not directly from the angle from which you are approaching it.One of Macondos great strengths is narrow directivity from high frequencies all the way down t...

Well it is getting interesting. I am getting the grip. I might as well read all the previous 11 pages to understand why the horns are on the backwall though...So what we have there on the backwall is big patches of 'air' which sort of suck HF inside ...

Hi Romy.I completely agree with you regarding the VTA <-> VTF relation on every arm out there (the lever rule also seems to work with tonearms ;-)). Also i agree that if you want the correct absolute measurement of VTF you have to do it on the ...

Unfortunately I cannot reply to your question, Roman, as I purchased from herr Von Langa a N.O.S. pair of Altec 416-8B 15" woofers.BTW: while in Berlin, last May, Frank Schroeder performed an interesting, provoking "blind-test" using '50s and '60 Tel...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Stich , your own complains about aforementioned arms (Schroeder mostly) was "no highs , no lows " . Pretty primitive way to judge a productfrom a sophisticated listener like yourself. Since you seem to have unlimited budget , ...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

The idea of high quality delay makes me wonder if the delay effectively increases the virtual length of the room - allowing longer wavelengths before the room Schroeder frequency is reached. This would be a "softer" bass without the room compression....

Hello Romy,I should have made myself more clear about the paragraph you quoted. Typical situations:a. The arm is installed on a deck that accomodates more than one arm. The listener, if lucky, has two(for all intents and purposes) identical cartridge...

other "super arms" (in terms of price ) do have some , "stand by itself" inherent intellectual value which Schroeder totally lacks. And also personal prejudice seems to blind his objective judgement. Apart from that the question remains if the ar...
