Re: respectfully...

No, I haven't heard any of the tonearms you mention including the Schroeder. However, the only way to truly compare and assess the relative performance of different tonearms would be to play them on your own turntable in your own audio system using the same cartridge. I have no doubt they would all sound slightly different. That's the nature of vinyl.

The reason I believe the SME V is the best tonearm in the world is because of the engineering that went into it. It is designed to minimize vibration and maximize stability, which are the goals for carrying a cartridge. I believe it probably does this better than any other tonearm in the world based on its test results. Show me another tonearm that has any published test results regarding vibration and stability or anything else for that matter. At any rate, I am totally happy with my SME V. Whether or not it is truly the best makes little difference to me because it is probably the last tonearm I will ever buy and it definitely ranks right up there with the very best.

Respectfully,
John Elison
