| The Palladian-A step beyond You lost me anyway saying the Palladian sounds similar to a SPU - certainly not something I am looking for in a cartridge.Didn't know you had a Silver Meister II Shane....?Or are you saying all SPUs sound alike? | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond I just received the new SMARTscrew Timet 1100 cartridge screws from Acoustical Systems.These are so new they don't yet appear on their Website...👀Two pairs (of different lengths) are included in the box and they are obviously made of the same tit... | |
| Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected? Your experiences should be a salutary lesson to some, about the dangers of 'over-damping'.Here is a quote from a learned dissertation on vibrations:-Damping is always present to some degree in any real system. Without it, there would be no way to ... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond None of those Chris...It is a Q4 Shibata EVO stylus as used historically for quadraphonic reproduction.You can read all this in the English translation of the German review that the North American Distributor kindly Linked in an early Post here...😎 | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Yes I like that example of the "Spanish Infantor’s" blue eyes bluewolf......😎The saddest revelation in Fleib’s blinding adoration of the Mexican failure, is his ignorance of the terms ’First Hand’, ’Second Hand’, Third Hand’ etc.First Hand is wher... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Raul's last post was first hand confirmation of ethical concerns. Do you think he's lying?You should be ashamed of yourself Fleib.How does "first-hand confirmation" equate to repeating one person's grievances from years ago, without knowledge of ... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Thanks for the preliminary report folkfreak...As bluewolf says.....rapid improvement is heard through the first 20 hours although straight out-of-the-box, this cartridge will impress 👀As lewm rightly reminds us......buying an uber-expensive new ca... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I am very curious about this cart. I have heard the AT150ANV and I actually prefer my Ortofon 2M Black. The AT150ANV is now selling for ~ $1500. How is the ~ $1K ART 9 going to sound better? I sure hope it sounds better......I have a dozen vint... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond **Why do they dominate the high end? **I think you know. Despite their limitations, "they do have the undeniable virtue of costing more." You've both got it.....😎When those with 'means', have $200,000 speakers driven by $160,000 monoblocks with $... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond A pensive post Lewm..🤔And one which I think the 'High-End Cabal' (which includes reviewers) would like dismissed 🙈I have just today, conducted a mini-shoot-out between the Sony XL-55, Sony XL-88 (both renowned LOMCs from the Golden Age of analogue... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Thanks Richard,I think that makes sense....🤓 | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Low compliance carts are stiffer, so it takes more effort to deflect the suspension when playing a record.Hang on......We've agreed that the deflection of the stylus at the groove is the same for high and low-compliance cartridges.Which means tha... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Fleib and Richard,If we agree that the movement is the same at the stylus for both high and low compliance cartridges......wouldn't the greater movement at the end of a high-compliance cantilever cause an equally larger reaction (Newton) which the... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond maybe the reason is down to incompatable effective mass of the arm cart combo?The FR-66s has the highest effective mass of any commercial tonearm produced.If there were no audible compatibility issues with it, plus its little brother FR-64s plus t... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond A stiffer cantilever suspension could well mean less cantilever movement and more tonearm vibration.That's what I think most folk believe, thus putting more stress in the tonearm......I'm still not totally convinced 🤔Surely attaching an accelerome... |
