The fundamental "problem" of this arm is, that changing one of the three main parameters (VTA, VTF, damping) changes the two others in small increments too. Can make you crazy if you are a "tweaker" not a "listener"
Bernie,

A change of VTA would affect the VTF change on any arm. I would say that the change would be absolutely negligible in most of the cases but the VTA and VTF are related. However, the changing in damping when you change VTA is in my view is an extremely erroneous thought and if it is true with Schroeder arm then it is an indication of faulty design idea. I do not know how Schroeder arm is made, I never read too much into it but I have a feeling that if what you say is correct then Schroeder arm is most like not properly mechanically “grounded”, the same problem with what some too suspended pated has in some turntables.
