| Artemis Labs SchroederTonearm Artemis Labs builds a Schroeder designed tonearm that is different from the ones that Frank makes by hand. Still, they are very, very good. | |
| Clearaudio Concept vs. Emotion, and beyond The Concept has a poorly implemented tonearm that allegedly violates Frank Schroeder's US and European Union Patents. That one will see a courtroom. | |
| thoughts on the Madrigal Carnegie One You know, audio is a lot like an ice cream parlor. It's all about flavors where one man's trash is another man's treasure. Me? I like a lot of flavors, and I wouldn't have at any other way. :) | |

| Speed Stability Tony,I believe what you may be missing is the sad fact that it may be impossible to fix everything, but all the little things add up, so we try to fix what we can. Look at a turntable the same way you look at an entire system. It will never be per... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? 01-09-10: Breuninger"To me, a turntable is part art, part performance." Yes! | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Oops! The last of the sentence should have read "overly enthusiastic fan." I suppose I suffer from an overly enthusiastic mouse finger because I posted before I finished writing. ;)Win | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? "The problem is, that words have nothing to do with reality."This is the truth of the matter.
