Arms ...
-
Schroeder
- A simple website, Frank is busy building tonearms. When people begin to describe these tonearms, they
suddenly stop using technical terms and begin to speak about music. We can think of no higher compliment.
The arms are cloaked in mystery, but are the essence of simplicity. We have dedicated ourselves to being your comprehensive information source
for all things Schroeder. Visit our
Schroeder Tonearm Section for comparison photos, charts, descriptions, FAQs, and more.
Schroeder manuals are located on our support page.
- Triplanar - What more can we say about this tonearm that hasn't
already been said? We're proud to offer this fine tonearm as more than just an alternative to the Schroeder.
Talk to us for guidance if the Triplanar is on your short list of tonearms.
Setup ease and flexibility, coupled with world-class sonics place the Triplnar Ultimate in the top echelon of tonearms. Watch our
Triplanar page as we add
more information,
setup tips, and compatibility notes in the coming months.

Graham Engineering
- In the past, we never completely warmed up to Bob Graham's tonearms ...
until we heard them on our turntables, learning once more to not shoot the messenger. For years, Bob Graham has
been a voice in the wilderness - contending that the low-Q characteristic of his arms produced accurate bass.
On our turntables, we can say that we agree with Bob.
-
Moerch
- Scandinavian design sensibilities in analog reproduction.
-
SME - classic industrial design, with their vintage arms as well as contemporary designs preferred by many.
-
Eminent Technology - how many imitators have we seen of Bruce Thigpen's ground-breaking air bearing linear tracking
tonearm?
