They were the rage at one point several years ago and now there's not much written about them. I thought his latest Tangential Tracking Pivoted Tonearm was rather revolutionary. He claimed it produced zero tracking error and also zero skating force. I actually saw it and listened to it at RMAF 2012 and it sounded great, although I can't remember ever hearing an expensive arm that didn't. At the time, I thought it would produce a frenzy in the vinyl community because there was finally a pivoted tonearm that supposedly eliminated the two most serious flaws in pivotal tonearm design without introducing the excessive mass of air-bearing linear trackers. It seemed like a true masterpiece and yet I hear little to nothing about it these days.Was it too good to be true? Or, was it too expensive? Whatever happened to the revolutionary Tangential Tracking Pivoted Tonearm from Frank Schroeder.
