@jafox 1+ I should note that @jymc needs a tonearm board specifically for his Sota that takes into account the weight of the Schroder arm. Suspended turntables always need the tonearm/tonearm board weight to be within a specific range or the resonance frequency of the suspension might get too high. Sota knows the weight of all these arms and can make matching tonearm boards. A lighter arm will require a heavier board. I wooden arm board will not be heavy enough. Sota also knows the pivot to spindle distances for all these arms and can drill the boards without having the arm.
Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US?
I now own a Sota Cosmos Eclipse w/ vacuum after a 30 year hiatus from vinyl. On this forum, I mostly read other posts absorbing valuable info, especially from the relative few with decades of meaningful experience. I know a Kuzma 4Point9 and the Schroder CB or LT would be a good match for the Sota. However, given what appears to be a "who's on first" situation in how to confidently purchase a Schroder product, I am becoming increasingly inclined to just go with the Kuzma out of sheer practicality and convenience. There must be reputable analog shops in the US who are knowledgable and trusted concerning the Schroder product?? I have no desire to struggle to reach one of Frank's grunt guys (does he have any) in Germany.

@mijostyn I have a 22 C4S coupe, the photo is from my Taycan after a rain. |
@cfarrow I thought about the Taycan, but I really needed a pickup truck, so I got a TRX. I had a 2014 Turbo S, but sold it after 5 years. I liked driving my old C4S better and the Turbo languished in the garage. The 06 C4S has the right look and the rustic personality of the old air cooled cars, aside from being a manual. The newer cars are just too sophisticated for me and I am not fond of PDK transmissions on the street. On the track they make sense because everything is happening much faster. On the street most people leave them in full auto mode, boring. I like feeling like Nuvolari driving an old Autounion. @randyk Galibier wanted to charge me $124 for a cartridge mounting plate. I got one from Europe for $50. That was a really bad marketing plan. |
I'll make @jymc the armrest for the price of the parts and shipping. That would be about $25.00 |
