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 👀

Dear Thuchan, I know that you own ''Ditrich's tonearm'' (aka

Dertonarm's tonearm) so it looks to me very brave from

you to confront him with ''some competition''. However I have

no idea what you mean with ''a Joker''? Besides the issue is about

the tonearms (one would think) but the ''Joker'' apply for the cart

(Palladium). I know that you are very busy man but your ''explantion''

is too short and not very clear.

Dear Nandric,

I know. It's about a tuning issue. Very special but from this world.
I need to explain it, nevertheless I am just studying and experimenting. So may I ask you to be patient for one more week. I will then be ready to present my results. Just running the AT ART 1000 for the first time, also got an additional hybrid phono pre from Acoustic Arts for testing. Somehow busy now. And I am not getting paid for that!
Greetings to the Netherlands, enjoy being third...

Hi Thuchan. Are you getting away with 60db gain for the ART1000 or is your AA phono a special higher gain version?

Dear thuchan, Sorry but I am confused.  I first thought it is about

the tonearms then about Palladium while you are testing ART 1000

and Acoustic Arts. BTW in order to enjoy being the ''third'' I would

like to know who is the  first end the second (grin).

Hi khumalo,

I am listening to the ART 1000 by the EMT JPA 66, not by the AA as the AA phono just arrived at me for testing and I always prefer to test carts with my well known lines. I will tell you when I got time for the AA.
