Schroeder versus Tri-Planar

Thanks Doug -

Actually the Redpoint/Galibier comparison is apt, because that is a Redpoint motor. I switched it in in place of the AS stock AC motor and it is a big improvement. The turntable is unbelievably solid (too solid when I need to move it!)

thanks for the comments and advice - the phono stage is probably getting upgraded next - then later on the power amp

Now someone's suggested the Basis Vector... even saying it blows away the Graham 2.2. I can't find much about this arm online, except that it uses an innovative "multipivot" bearing, whatever that means.

Has anyone heard it? How would it compare to the other arms under discussion?

Actually I don't have a Teres (though I've considere them; I have an Acoustic Solid) - see my system link below.

Thanks for all the responses guys, definitely stuff to think about here.

Cmk,

When I ordered the motor, they were still one company (named Redpoint). Then Peter and Thom parted ways (amicably as I understand it, mainly due to the physical distance between Arizona and Colorado). Peter kept the Redpoint name, and Thom named his company Galibier. Of the existing Redpoint equipment, Peter kept the Testa Rossa model, and Thom the Quattro model.

Looking over their websites, the products still look very much the same as when they were one company, but I'm sure they both have new stuff in production.

The motor is superb. I have to add it to my system description.

Hope this helps -
