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

Patrick,

A very cool system....... I am thinking about trying to find a Garard 301 to refurb and take the place of my VPI Aries...... Are you still happy with yours? Any suggestions? I have only ben looking for about a month but the prices are getting pretty steep....... $1,000-$1,500..... still worth is IYHO?

Thanks

Chris
