If I recall correctly the Schroder arm has dual magnets for setting the VTF and it cannot be measured correctly with a usual scale due to some opposite force when the needle sits on the record. This is the idea maybe Im not explaining it perfectly though.
Perrew, if your explanation is correct and in Schroder arms VTF is set by moving magnets then it would have nothing to do with ability to measure VTF correctly with a usual scale. To me what this guy does is participating in some kind of sham action that was most likely invented for him to follow. His dealer most likely told him that to measure VTF on the Schroder arms one needs to be stay only on one leg, has one eye close and do not eat any dark meat for 24 hours before the measuring. So, the poor guy is just following, having no idea what he in fact does. I do not see ANY tonearm where VTF can not be measured with conventional scale.
