Simon Yorke S9 with a Schroeder arm ???


Hello,
Has anyone any idea how a S9 would change with a schroeder dsp or refernce? As teh S9 is my first analog rigg since decades I don't know how good exactly the arm in itself is. I use the Simon Yorke with Jan Allaerts MC1B - pass lab phono - BAT 5i and VK 60's monoblock driving sonus faber amati homage.
i love the sound of the S9 with Allaerts but just wonder what that somehow genius contsracted arm woul do.

A few people I know w. Simon Yorke tables have tried different tonearms. They all ended up using the Yorke arm in the end. I didn't listen with them when they did the comparison, just letting you know what I was told. Raul just reinforces that opinion. The Schroeder is a great arm by all standards, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can spend your money better elsewhere. I have been told Simon Yorke himself is emphatic about using his own tonearms for his turntables. The tonearm isn't the most sophisticated design. There are air bearing & other types of tonearms with newer technology, but you will probably not benefit as much as you think. You are at the point of diminishing returns. Good luck.
