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 👀

Thanks Folkfreak,
Halcro, Dietrich has heard his Palladian with the SpJ. I could not stop him putting his hand on the Titanium screws... He used the Opus I disc to adjust in the best possible way. He said he felt responsible for the previous owner 😇

Dear all,

Btw. it seems I found a Joker for the Palladium (maybe not only for the Palladium). I am still testing it for one more week to be really safe on my assessment.  Keep you posted.

Dear Thuchan, I know that you own ''Ditrich's tonearm'' (aka

Dertonarm's tonearm) so it looks to me very brave from

you to confront him with ''some competition''. However I have

no idea what you mean with ''a Joker''? Besides the issue is about

the tonearms (one would think) but the ''Joker'' apply for the cart

(Palladium). I know that you are very busy man but your ''explantion''

is too short and not very clear.

Dear Nandric,

I know. It's about a tuning issue. Very special but from this world.
I need to explain it, nevertheless I am just studying and experimenting. So may I ask you to be patient for one more week. I will then be ready to present my results. Just running the AT ART 1000 for the first time, also got an additional hybrid phono pre from Acoustic Arts for testing. Somehow busy now. And I am not getting paid for that!
Greetings to the Netherlands, enjoy being third...

Hi Thuchan. Are you getting away with 60db gain for the ART1000 or is your AA phono a special higher gain version?
