| Music Maker II cartridge I heard the MM II with the Schroeder Model 2(12g) while at the dealer's shop through an ERA Gold phono and it sounded fabulous. More like an MC than an MM. Only a slight loss of detail and speed compared to some high end carts. I though it sounded... | |
| goldmund reference . which would be the best arm I didn't respond to your question because I'm not familar with your table. However, so long as you can get an armboard cut for the specific arm you want, requirements being a rigid base for the arm, and you can get the correct overhang (distance f... | |
| Schroeder Model 2 4yanx, the key difference between the 2 and the 1 is the use of wood for the armwand. That would give the music a fuller/rounder sound. The carbon fibre arm is very fast and dynamic. Construction is similar, built to very high standards. Both the ... | |
| AZ Matrix Ref Mk II vs. Mk I? I found the Mk1 a tad warmer, but both were excellent in detail retrieval. Used it between my pre/power amp. I didn't quite like it between the source and pre. | |
| How Much To Rival Good Digital Playback Psychicanimal, the 1200 will only get you awesome mid-bass, lots of it, will little refinement. | |

| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? Vannorm, since you've already got the Spacedeck as the base for your LP playback, those upgrades (mat and ps) will make significant improvements to the sound quality of your LP playback, provided the rest of your system is up to the task. Although... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits I'm running the PS of my Kuzma Stabi via the PS Audio PP300 on the pure sine wave and experienced a huge jump in resolution and stability. Unfortunately, I cannot isolate the effect of the P300 on the turntable alone, as I had to run the phono/pre... | |

| Anyone using Schroeder arms? Opinions pls. Hi 4yanxCan you share what you heard with the arm shootout? A field report perhaps? | |
| Anyone using Schroeder arms? Opinions pls. I've heard some opinions, mostly from reviews about a natural, non-mechanical sound, with good soundstaging and bass. On the Teres site, Chris mentions that the bass on the Model 1 is somewhat "soft" but makes up for it in other areas.I was hoping... |
