What Cartridge & Armwand on your Schroder


What is your favorite catridge to use on your Schroder and which armwand (which wood, what effective mass) do you have on your Schroder tonearm? What differences have you discovered between different cartridges? A nice reference to your entire system would help put it all in context.

Hello Dgad,
For your arm, ZYX and Dyna have been mentioned(use the aluminum cart mounting plate) and I would add the Audionote(Kondo)IO-J and the 47Labs-Myabi(not the regular one).
The earlier carbon fiber wand has it's own signature, a brighter character(more pronounced high frequency armwand resonances), quite to the liking of some who's system it might suit better than the less resonant("smoother") character of the wooden armwands.
It is more the treatment of the wooden armwands, not so much the type, that determines the sonic outcome. Damping unwanted armwand rsonances without dulling the sound is the goal.

Cheerio,

Frank
