12 inch tonearms


Thinking about adding a 12inch tonearm to try one out.

Any thoughts and experiences, good or bad, on 12 inch arms?

Looking forward to the discussion.

Berlinta, we all know this happens. Is there any other reviews of it.

Hello Norm,
It's o.k. if someone else posts links to reviews, I'd rather refrain from it to avoid giving the impression I'm advertising my product. A google search will show up several online mag reviews and if you need more info contact me privately.
Thanks for your understanding.

Regards,

Frank
RE: damaged review sample

I'd be happy to take the damaged review sample off your hands ;-).

Seriously, though, I read the review and thought the reviewer didn't have a clue. His only negative comments appear to come from the fact that the Schroeder tonearms are different from the usual suspects. I'm still drooling over getting one for myself.

Dear Dmgrant1: +++++ " Don't think I would have the capability to get a 12 inch properly set up ... " +++++

Please don't leave that other opinions put on your mind that you are not " capability " to set up the long tonearms.

If the long tonearms set up were really a " pain " and only for specialist people I'm sure those kind of tonearms never exist.

Around half of my tonearms are long ones and when I follow the manufacturer set up information everything is simple and works great.

I can tell you that when the cartridge/tonearm is well matched and with good set up you could be happy with both tonearm designs: shor/long, both are simple to set up there is no problem with the long ones: this is one of many myhts out there.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul, Thanks for the heads up. This has been fun- especially learning about the Schroeder arms. That would be my top choice, but out of my fincancial league at the moment!

I am curious to know of any opinions regarding the less expensive choices.
