High End Reproduction is back

unfortunately... for a price. But Brain counts...

Today I had a revelation at Munich High End Show at Acoustical Systems Demo Room.
Pure sound, a Soundstage with any record I never heard from any modern table, no matter what price or Hype, no coloration, no sonic fingerprint
but it was the whole System which delivered the result
Speaker from a new Manufacturer, Soundspace Systems, Model Aidoni, 101dB
Phonostage Evocator from AS
Axiom Arm & Palladian Cartridge from AS
Turntable Apolyt from AS
Pre- and Power Ams from Vitus Audio
Cables from Audioquest (Wild)

Good Work & Thank you for giving a bright light in the dark "High End Cave"

Syn: I think you have long been an advocate for a top table and arm obviating the need for the most expensive cartridges; that this enables the use of a lesser priced cartridge without a loss in performance. So, is this cartridge made by Acoustical Systems or is he simply distributing it? And is it available in the U.S.?

Hi Gallus and Bill,

I do not know so much details, the fideles cartridge is based on his own idea and out for a while to his dealers. All I know, their customers like it and the orders for it are growing.
With the table..I guess, here you have to ask one of his dealers. Told me, he has a few in stock but have no idea when he ships them (or to whom).

Lord, the disk on that turntable looks like it weighs 50lbs, or more. Anyway, newbie question: I've never been to any of these HiFi demos, so what are they generally doing for acoustic treatment of the rooms? Particularly, how to they manage the low-frequency room modes?
