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 👀

(To be honest, Henry’s "lack of" response to my offer to buy his Decca earlier, makes me think it is the later....... )

Haha.....
You may be right Chris...😝
But why do you want the London Decca Reference?
Have you heard one...?
And what arm would you put it on?
I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone running it on a straight tracker..
That could be interesting.....🤔

you ask many questions Henry. Maybe you could start a Decca thread ?

My situation is such that the American Parent Company shut down our Canadian Operation, some 5 years now. Since then, I am still not able to find good local work in my field. This has forced me to hone my bartering skills.
Now I offered 6 camels for a Palladian, but was advised by Czar Nikola that Dertonarm was not interested. Apparently because they can hold drink better than him. I do realize it can be frustrating if one needs to get up and take a piss, just before those Canon shots are about to go off in your room. :^(
I also do imagine that real Canon shots have been responsible for many pissed pants in the past.
So I make the same offer to you. 6 camels for your Decca. :^)

Dear Chris, Your bartering skills are worthless. You should know

that our Halcro is ''some Aussie'' and not an Arab. But if you

own some of those Patek Phillip watches or old Porsches I am

sure that you can get his Decca. He obviously has many hobbies

all of them pretty expensive so the ''bartering art'' means to find

the right exchange items. I don't believe that camels will do

regardless of their quantity.

Hello Halcro & Chris,

FWIW a friend had good results with a London Decca Reference on his Terminator linear tonearm, then tasted an Acutex LPM320STR and sold the Decca.

I can believe that.....
Did you get to hear the Decca in the Terminator yourself..?
