Schroeder versus Tri-Planar

I've got a Graham 2.2 and I love it, but I'd also love to try a truly high-quality gimbaled arm. I'm curious whether there are people who have heard the Schroeder Model 1 and the Tri-Planar Model VII. The reviews on each are superb.

However Chris Brady on the Teres site describes the Tri-Planar as a bit bright and analytical - qualities I hate in audio equipment. He also describes the Schroeder as loose in the bass - not a good thing either, though he hypothesizes that the wood arm wands might alleviate that problem.

any experiences folks? Patrick

Beautiful analogue setup you have Patrick.

As I'm currently using the Schroeder 2, I can confidently say that the Schroeder has no bass problems. I've come from using the Kuzma Stogi Reference, which is a gimbal arm and has very good bass. The Schroeder is superior as it doesn't have any bearings, and is fine-tunable to your cartridge. VTA, VTF, azimuth, anti-skate. It will allow your cartridge to extract the most detail from the grooves while remaining intensely musical.

Between the Redpoint and the Galibier, what made you decide on the former?
