The Palladian-A step beyond

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.

The problem however is my Serbian upbringing
according to which the revenge is more important than sex.

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.

Bluewolf, I admire your desire for peace and tranquility.  However, it's the squabbling that makes these threads interminably long, thought provoking, and occasionally funny.  Some of us some of the time have no patience with the fact that others of us disagree on this or that.  In fact, this could be said of all of us, some of the time, and some of us all of the time.
