| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? So, since you may be listening, Frank, I have often heard knowledgeable people argue about the value or lack of value of having high mass in the horizontal plane. For those who do not like the classical linear tracking tonearms, their very high ma... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Is it absolutely level? | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? The error in my thinking: Yes, the effective mass is high in the horizontal plane, because of all the paraphernalia necessary for the LT function, but it is only affected by the masses of the arm tube, headshell, (cartridge), and counter-wt, in th... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? I am wondering how the effective mass can be so low as "14 to 21 gm", which was stated somewhere above. If you think of it, the stylus/cantilever is swinging the whole enchilada all the way back to the stationary pivot that bears the rotating pivo... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Thank you, Frank. Unfortunately for my bank account, you've removed one reason for not buying an LT. Congratulations to you for the inherent rightness and simplicity of your idea. You might suggest to Xactaudio that they should explain the presenc... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Sorry to be such a blabbermouth on this subject. I saw a full photo of the LT on the Xactaudio website. It seems I was correct in the first place; there is a large cylindrical base, not seen in the videos, within which must reside the bearing for ... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Yes, I want one.I wonder whether Frank Schroeder can create a base that would allow other tonearms to operate in the same manner. The problem would be that nearly every commercial tonearm has an offset headshell. The only production arm I know abo... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? The first video is a very good demonstration of the mechanism of the Schroeder. I had not previously realized that it's pivot swings in full view. I thought the working bearings were underneath, somehow. Fascinating and ingenious, because it's so ... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Thanks for the photos, but I would really like to see a video of the arm in action, showing how the pivot point moves. Is there anything on YouTube? | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Jfrech,I was thinking about the Schroeder arm (and working up a desire for one, if only I could afford it). I would imagine that setting the P2S distance for this tonearm is VERY critical to get the most out of it. Otherwise, you have a tonearm th... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Dreadhead, It was I who insulted you or more accurately made a joke at your expense, and I've apologized. Moreover, no one questioned your personal experience. I took issue with your quoting the Audio Advisor catalog to support your blanket claim ... | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? Raul, Yes, that's the way I would do it too. Use only a small value very high quality cap as a high pass filter in front of the amplifier that drives the upper frequencies. Then use a very high quality electronic crossover, with a steeper slope, t... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Guess I went over the top. It was more for the thrill of it than to put down Dreadhead. Sorry, Dreadhead. But thanks for the chance to exorcise some undifferentiated anger. | |
| Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter? That's a reasonable answer. I think that even when there is not easily visible woofer pumping, "full-range" speakers can suffer a bit from the introduction of distortions that originate from extreme low frequency (sub-audio) signal that moves them... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Dreadhead, Did you have to bring up such an unimpeachable source of audio wisdom as The Audio Advisor? I am overwhelmed. In your spare time, leaf through their catalog and count the number of belt-drive turntables they SELL, as compared to the num... |
