Schroeder Model 2 carbon fiber vs. Pertinax tonearms

Hi Dan,
I still have my previous tonearm (a vintage late 70s Hadcock 228), as I have 2 tonearms on my Platine Verdier. I found the Schroeder a bit more open and transparent. Of course, one's aural memory isn't always reliable when listening in different circumstances. You really need identical cartridges in two tonearms, but of course, at home one never does that. I have a vintage late 60s Decca FFSS MkIV C4E on my Hadcock and an Allaerts MC1B on my Schroeder - not exactly similar.

topoxforddoc,  Thanks for the reply.  Do you have any comments on how your Schroeder Model 2 compares with the tonearm it replaced?  I've had a Morch UP-4 and the Scheu Classic 2 on my current table.  Dan
PS:   I was blown away by the mastertape copy at Axpona 2015 of Ziggy Stardust on a United Home Audio R2R...amazing combination of resolution and musicality!

I bought a carbon Model 2 over 10 years ago, before the pertinax option came out. Whilst I would love to upgrade the arm (Frank can upgrade any tonearm he has made), the time (particularly) and cost doesn't make sense to me, given the fact that my carbon arm does what I want out of it.
I have heard a number of wooden tonearm Schroeder References and they were lovely, But of course, they weren't in my system in my room, so it's hard to know how much better these were.
Now I have invested into 15 IPS 2 track R2R master tapes and have 4 R2R machines capable of playing these, fiddling around with different tonearm materials sort of pales into insignificance.
