Hi all, looking at tonearms, Schroeder seems to be most revered arm on various forums. Plus he spends his time in the Western Electric room, loves idlers, classical, etc.
On Audiogon in an old thread you will find jazdoc, dmailer, and Doug Deacon (a long time champion of Zyx and Schroeder) preferring Durand Talea II to Schroeder reference, after eulogizing the Schroeder for many years, and Durand is a classical guy too.
Schroeder LT possibly better than the Reference.
And jfrech moved from LT to Spiral Groove Centroid.
Durand Talea II used, and Centroid, are cheaper.
Difficult for most to compare these arms, I guess.
So if anyone has had compares of these with other arms, thoughts welcome. If you don't want to post negative experiences, please PM.
