anthony, i wouldn't say that the triplanar has a sonic signature. it will react differently to whatever cartridge you install.

scar972, the triplanar works well with a Phasemation PP1000. i've had it like that for years. i have a number of 4points. i have never experienced another arm that is so easy to set up and any adjustment is 100% repeatable. incredible fit and absolute control over adjustments. the triplanar, reed and acoustical systems all have the same adjustability, but all are very sloppy and not repeatable.

moved the system to a dedicated sound room 28x28 upstairs in my barn.
soundstage is huge now. the room is dead quiet with dedicated a/c and totally isolated ground.
(beer fridge is on another circuit in the next room!)

System edited: march 2010. i rebuilt my crossovers and included dueland resistors. the improvement was very noticeable. i have great midrange decay and rock solid tight bass now.

i had the spikes custom made by larry at ttweights. he has since added them to his product line specifically for the ddx. the pic on his website is actually my ttbl. here's a link.

these spikes are a serious improvement to the table's performance. it changes the table from sprung to rigid, which works for me. the performance of the ddx rivals my rx1500 now. i highly recommend the upgrade.

System edited: august'09 i installed a breuer 8C to the rx1500 and moved the breuer 5C to the ddx1000.

i just installed an 8C onto the 1500. haven't spun it yet, later today is the plan. i am west of toronto. the max tonearm was just shipped to a buyer in california. i will be installing the 5C onto the ddx, just waiting for a new armboard to be machined.
i bought the 5C from alfred at tubeaudioproducts. he had never heard the arm and i don't think he knew it's reputation, otherwise i'm sure he would not have sold it. i know that i won't be selling it!
thanks for the response.
which schroeder did you have?
