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,

***Dear Fleib, Your strategy is not to react to the questions asked but

to persist on your theoretical assumptions.

You just stated: ''Saying the cart can not be evaluated without the

alignment, is nonsense.'' How about evaluation of any cart without any experience with the cart in question? This is bluewolf's argument which you deed not address. The reason is obvious.***

I never evaluated the cartridge, in fact I stated all along I thought it must be very good. My concerns about the post script are not theoretical. Prove me wrong.

If it's about the prairie flower and an orchid, that requires a value judgment. Some prairie flowers are more beautiful than some orchards IMO.

To those expressing concern about Dietrich I can only relay my own experience. I purchased a UNI Protractor via AudioGon maybe 6 years ago, sure it took some time to ship but not surprising for a custom product. Since then Dietrich has replied very quickly to all my emails querying questions on the use of this itemt

I recently purchased a Palladian via the US Distributor -- since then I've been in touch with Dietrich and he is making a custom shim just for me to address an issue with how my arm is mounted, note that this was not something I asked for but it was something he offered to do

All in all this is world class service and service commensurate with purchasing these sort of items from an artisan manufacturer.

Fleib, Do you read your own post and answers to your post?

12-02-2016: ''but where's is  the perceived value in this

cartridge , some special varnish on the aluminum cantilever?''

12-03-2016: ''So far there is no pefect cart and I doubt if this

is....''  etc.,  with Sampas comment on your complete statement.

12-04-2016;

Halcro : ''Always dangerous to speculate without hearing''

as answer to your post just above Halcro's comment.

nandric,

Those weren't performance evaluations.  Raul's last post was first hand confirmation of ethical concerns.  Do you think he's lying?

Maybe Brakemeier is now wealthy enough he doesn't have to con and cheat people, but I wouldn't count on it.  The titanium body is what justifies the price tag. I wonder....

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 their veracity or merit?
And without hearing the other side's version......or do you believe that common law principles are unnecessary on the Internet?

The jealous and sordid vendetta propagated by a 'failed' Mexican sociopath is able to be ignored.....but your 'excitement' at these disclosures is sickening.
"Do you think he's lying?".......
About what...?!
Repeating scandalous defamatory statements untested by the legal avenues available to the 'supposed' aggrieved?
You should look carefully at your responses here Fleib, because to me they display a great deal about your character.
