Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences

All,

I have read a lot of threads regarding the "superiortiy" of these tonearms in the right combinations of tables and catridges. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot said about the soncic characteristics of each brand and the differences between them. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about their strengths and weaknesses, sonci characteristics, applicability to various types of music (rock, pop, classical, large scale, small scale, etc).

Will a Schroeder deliver dynamics, punch, bass suited to Rock music? Will a Triplanar deliver natural, timbral accuracy? Are both these arms suited to the same music?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Have you had any positive/negative experiences with using "Record Flattener's" on LP's. Are they worth the effort /cost ?
.
Thanks,

Yes, I am referring to the machine that gradually heats up, presses the record flat and then slowly cools back down automatically.
.
Do let us know if you ever get around to test driving one and I will do the same.

Thanks & Rgds,

How have you been ?

Did your buddy with the Record Flattener achieve better sonics with the records after being flattened ?

The LP you heard when visiting is called “Pearl Diver” by David Roth. The song writing, singing, guitar work and recording are all spectacular as you well recall.
.
You can order it directly online from the record company “Stockfisch” of Germany.
.
Their website is: www.stockfisch-records.de
.
or you can go directly to the English side of their Catalogue by going to :

http://www.stockfisch-records.de/stckff/sf_stockfisch_e.html.
.
and scroll down till you see his LP and CD (two separate listings, be careful that you order the LP). The LP is a Direct Metal Master Recording. They also have a CD version is quite good as well, but the LP is spectacular.
.
For the rest of you, this is a great audiophile recording with some real joyful acoustic music. David Roth (not David Lee), has an incredible voice and plays the guitar beautifully. I think it is one of those LP’s that everyone would love to have in their collection regardless of their musical preferences.
