DaVinci Tonearm


I guess, this one is quite rare. Made in Switzerland.
But anyone out there, who listened to it?
Impressions?

Hi Thomas,
well why did you not go for the new Schroeder Reference SQ?
And what kind of mc cartridge do you want to mount on this
TA ?

Hi Thomas,

I did a comparison Davinci against Schroeder mounted on a DPS. Both had the Takeda Miyabi, well what can I say is that the Davinci has more precise highs and mids than the Schroeder. I have heard from one guy in the
german aaanalog forum owning a schroeder reference and a schroeder dps both where mounted on a pluto, he switched over to graham phantom he is using a transfiguration orpheus.

Hi Breezer, HI Dan_ed,

well I use the Davinci 12 Inch with a Takeda Miyabi
Cartridge. The build of the Davinci is perfect.
Well I did compare in my own System the Davinci
againt the schroeder dps both mounted a Takeda Miyabi
and the Davinci outperforms the schroeder dps in
terms of more precise mid and a much deeper bass.

Hi Aoliviero,

well I did just hear the Davinci against the Schroeder
SQ on an AAA-Forum in Germany. But the Cartridges where
quite different, so that the comparision is not worth
mentioning.
I will try to get a Schroeder SQ and will compare both
with the ZYX Universe / Orpheus and Takeda Miyabi on the
Raven AC, with each TA mounted with the same System.
And the same phonostage.

Hi Dgad,

yes we need to use our ears and that is what came out of that comparison between the two TA.

During the comparision we also rotated the two cartridges in both TA. So that each arm did use each cartridge.
A friend of mine who builds and attunes pianos, had the
same opinion that the davinci had overall better performance than the schroeder. Well this is our opinion
and my system.

Hi Dan,

no, as I only have the 12 Inch Davinci.

I think Thomas has the 9 Inch Davinci.
