The Palladian-A step beyond


The new cartridge from Acoustical Systems may finally be the LOMC to fully realise the theoretical advantages of the genus.
And convince those long-suffering audiophiles to whom the 'modern' MC presentation has been anathema to 'live sound'....that the realism of vintage LOMCs like the SPUs and FR-7 series has finally been recaptured 👀

I had no idea that I like the same (kinds?) of distortions like

''some Aussie''. But I do know that he likes MM carts while I

like the MC kinds. Ergo both MM and MC carts have the same

distortions.  What is more I just bought Klyne 7 PX 3.5.5 phono

pre and prefer its lowest amplification (37 dB) in combo with

Denon AU-S1 SUT for all my MC carts. At present with Archon

''the poor man Palladian''. Even more strange is the coincidence

that his and my gear ''must have'' the same distortions. I need

to add that Dertonarm himself  also used SUT's with FR-7 kinds

earlier and probably with his own carts now. So, it seems, we

are in good company.

Help me please: what does this cartridge cost and where can you buy them?  Thank you.

Hope this helps
