      Yes, I do have an engineering degree, but I don’t work in my field.
      All three DIY tonearms are mechanically similar and sound alike. They are part of my own system, which is listed in my profile. To me the sound is fantastic. It is natural, very clean, detailed, precise, holographic, dynamic, and consistent throughout the whole LP.
      
      I compared VPI JMW-9, OL Encounter, two 9” DIY tonearms with Schroeder type of bearing (and with magnetic antiskate correction), and three (11, 12 and 13”) DIY tonearms with my own type of bearing. After hearing my tonearms, VPI was a bit muddy; OL was too edgy, especially for my high resolution system. The sound of magnetically suspended tonearms was excellent but I decided to make my own design with a longer wand.
      I have not heard tonearms made by Schroeder, but after my experiments I believe mine bearing sounds a bit more dynamic, that’s all.
