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

Hi

I will be auditioning some Shindo pre-amps in a few weeks, also will have a chance to listen to the Shindo 301. I will post my impressions of the system and what I may hear from the Shindo 301.
It is a table that perhaps is best as a whole, but you may systematically build up to the full Shindo 301 piece by piece. If you find a nice Garrard 301 then buy the plinth and arm, then modified Shindo cart, then spindle bearing and platter and mat.

Here is a review:
