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 👀

Nandric, in case you hadn't noticed, my post on 12/10 10:37pm was addressed to Raul after he documented a lengthy attack. I commented on the substance of his post and ended:

"Despite any history you might have with Dertonarm AKA Dietrich Brakemeier, I think this cart should be judged on its merits. You might have a hard time convincing Acoustical Systems cartridge owners that their ears are deceiving them. The rest is history or conjecture."

Then you talk about those who like or dislike Brakemeyer, etc. etc.

Are you familiar with the term dummkopf?

Fleib, ''Are you familiar with the term dummkopf?'' Well I am

as familiar with German as with Dutch . The expression ''term''

comes from ''terminology'' in scientific sense and is not equivalent

to what is called ''word''. There is no such word in German btw. It

is a combination of two ''morphems'' by which new words can be

generated: ''dumm'' and ''Kopf''. The grammar of both languages

allows such combinations without restrictions and that is why both

languages are ''unbelievable rich''.  As a Serbian immigrant I got

law degree in Holland and was university teacher for more as 30

years. As far as I know you was assistent in an HIFI shop where

you learned how to a.o.  adjust LP 12.'' Dumm '' (stupid) is used in

the context of ''intelligence'' , more in general as ''learnig capability''

while your and my ''social achivement'' demonstrate this capability.

Sad, very sad. This forum should be about the performance of products.  It should not be about trying to discredit inanimate products based on a forum member's prejudice against the animate creator and anyone who has the audacity to honestly extol them. And as per my actual experience with dealing with Mr Brakemeier over a number of years in relation to Acoustical System ("AS")  products, the attacks of Messrs @rauliruegas and @fleib on his technical and ethical credibility are totally without foundation. I have found him technically the best, scrupulously honest and the maker of superlative products. To any members quietly reading this thread, which @halcro started with an excellent review of the outstanding Palladian the purpose of which was to positively inform, and which has since been hijacked by two posters with demonstrably malevolent intent, AS make cutting edge products, the proof of which is in the listening and not in the "round and round the garden like a teddy bear" written pontification, which I fear can lead one to becoming retromingent (what a lovely word - I have always wanted to use it).  My first product from AS was cartridge set-up equipment based on their exceptional UNI-DIN alignment.  This is a great place to start.  The UNI-DIN approach is informatively explained on the AS website:

I do hope that we can all kiss and make up and move on and enjoy this wonderful hobby, and present our views, all the more credibly, without personal attacks.

Amen bluewolf. The problem however is my Serbian upbringing

according to which the revenge is more important than sex. So

I will give Fleib the so called 'Italian kiss'' just before I kill the guy.

hah hah hah.....8^0

So I will give Fleib the so called ’Italian kiss’’ just before I kill the guy.

Such an extreme? Would you like me to send you some horsefly cream instead?  I have some left over. We are in winter here and I have no use for it right now.
