Re: Isn't that arm a bit of an overkill?

The gentleman who originally bought the arm had some financial reverses and had to sell the arm before taking delivery. Thus, I was able to acquire the as yet unbuilt arm at a discount. Would you have said "no"?

I also have a Moerch DP-6 12" blue dot which will be the main arm for the 401. However, I need to machine another brass pod on which to mount the Teres armboard (purpleheart wood) with Teres VTA adjuster so that the DP-6 will have VTA on-the-fly.

The Schroeder Reference is intended to go on my next TT which will be a direct drive. That way I will have a DD, a BD, and a idler wheel - after all, we shouldn't discriminate. It could go on a Technics SL1200. I already have an SL1200 armboard for it. How do you think a Schroeder Reference with a ZYX UNIverse cartridge would sound on a fully modded SL1200?

However, I think I will try resurrecting a Nakamichi TX-1000 first. I know a couple of guys that own TX-1000s and they seem to like them a lot. So many turntables, so little time.
