Schroeder Model-2 - 1,650 Euros

Schroeder Model-2

The Model-2 was designed to compete sonically with tonearms twice its price. To reach this more affordable price point, some ease of adjustment was sacrificed along with arm wand selection and other options.

Features

  • Arm wand material - Carbon Fiber standard or optional Pertinax (resin impregnated paper - see below).

    Both materials have a constrained layer damping construction. The Pertinax looks more like wood and has none of the carbon fiber's sonic signature - bringing it closer to the wooden wands in this respect.
  • Effective length - 239mm (222mm pivot to spindle)
  • Effective mass - 12 g. - compatible with most popular moving coil cartridges
    (mass range is extendable with optional brass cartridge carrier)
  • Wiring - continuous run of proprietary solid-core copper from cartridge clips to male RCA Plugs.
  • Termination - Eichman Bullet Plugs (male RCA) or optional female RCAs on hardwood mounting plate.
  • Mounting pattern - one bolt pattern, compatible with DPS.

Options:

  1. Pertinax arm wand - 125 Euros
  2. Extra cartridge carrier (brass) to extend cartridge compatibility range - $50.00
  3. VTF Fine Adjust (knurled screw on end of arm stub) - $50.00
