The Palladian-A step beyond
So far, there is no perfect cart and I doubt if this is. I'm guessing the trade off is harmonic detail, texture and layering. Being able to unravel the Stephen Stills or Respighi implies omission, Are you really saying that being able to enjoy a previously unlistenable record means that the cartridge is leaving something out, effectively hiding the flaws of the record? |
Obviously the words "guessing" and "implies" means it's conjecture, but it's a possibility, a likely one. There's no new technology here just a potted MC and apparently a very good one. Then again, perhaps it has some magical qualities, being able to discern the good from the bad and sort it out for you. Maybe it has no flaws and makes sense of things other carts can't, but is that likely? Find a master tape dub of the recordings in question and you'll find out. |
Being able to unravel the Stephen Stills or Respighi implies omission, like the natural sounding presentation of a 103 with it's aluminum cantilever and conical tip. Always dangerous to speculate without hearing.....🚫 A trait of someone south of the border.....❓😎 The "unravelling" is definitely the result of extracting MORE information and somehow distorting 'less'.... I have the DL-103R and I can assure you there are simply no similarities. |
Obviously the words "guessing" and "implies" means it's conjecture, but it's a possibility, a likely one. "Implies" is a logical conclusion, not a conjecture... Find a master tape dub of the recordings in question and you'll find out. Why would he or anyone bother? If the cartridge makes previously unlistenable records listenable that alone should be great, but it also extracts more information. Most would be very happy and just enjoy listening. |
**I never understood why someone might prefer a "revealing" component? Is the objective to find flaws in recordings & other gear or to enjoy music? ** Revealing is to expose information otherwise hidden. Too revealing is a consequence of limitations in the equipment or recording. **"Implies" is a logical conclusion, not a conjecture...** Imply is a suggestion without direct evidence or explicit reference. I suppose you think "guessing" means it's a foregone conclusion, but it doesn't. We now have a grand total of 2 reviews including Halcro's. I said all along I believe his assessment, but we all have different sensibilities. |
