Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm

In a high res setup has anyone been able to compare this arm to the top pivoting competition.I think that the fact that the pivot is magnetic as opposedto a bearing like a unipivot(needing damping) should on paper be less resonant and maybe sound better.I currently own,and,am happy with a Graham 2.2,but the idea of a true frictionless bearing (all bearings have some degree of friction)really could make a real difference in a good setup.I'm not interested at the moment in straight line trackers with air bearings (although I love some of them)due to the hassle of external pumps and tubing runs.

Thomas, I really hate to have to call you on this but you know you haven't had a Schroeder arm in your system. If you recall what you heard was a Schroeder No.1 (not Reference) with a Miyabi on my Debut in a totally unknown system at a show in a hotel. But even then you commented you thought it was much better than the Graham 2.0.

I also feel it was vastly better than my Graham 2.0 which I used for years on that TT. On my current TT I have used the No.2 and Reference but not a Graham so you didn't hear any direct comparison in my system either.

In all fairness to Frank Schroeder I don't think you should report on a direct comparison I don't think you have made.

Sorry, but fair is fair.
