Schroeder DPS - 3,100 Euros

Schroeder DPS

The DPS has replaced the Model-1 in the product line. This tonearm more closely approaches the performance of the Reference, at a price closer to that of the discontinued Model-1.

To achieve these design goals, the bearing tower design was adapted - sacrificing a bit of ease of adjustment in order to achieve these sonic goals.
