The Palladian-A step beyond

There is no point responding to the Cabal of @rauliruegas and @fleib .They are uncovered for what they are: bitter, sad and malicious people of the narrowest of minds. The following Zen story is apt:

Merchant: Master, I would like you to teach me Zen.
Zen Master: I cannot do that.
Merchant: Why not? I will give you gold.
Zen Master: Tea?
Merchant: Sure.

The Zen Master placed a tea cup in front of the merchant and began pouring until the cup was full, and continued pouring with the tea pouring onto the table.

Merchant: What are you doing? Stop! Are you mad?
Zen Master: This is why I cannot teach you. Your head is full.

But response must be made to the Cabal’s scurrilous and malicious attack on Mr Brakemeier because of:

1. Some bitter and twisted personal vendetta – presumably as a world-class cutting-edge designer he had the audacity to correct their babbling meanderings in the past; or
2. They think that the products he respects and AS products do not accord with their didactic opinions; or
3. All of the above.

They both are now quoting an email chain from a number of years back to support this with zero knowledge of the actual events. But hey why should that stop them. They have zero knowledge of or experience with any AS product yet they try to destroy their credibility through attacking their design attributes, the integrity of the designer and anyone with the audacity to disagree with the great Cabal. My experience with AS and that of the Audiogoner’s on this thread that have actually purchased AS products have been without fault. The Cabal even knows how blue the Spanish Infantor’s eyes are without having seen them.

Yes I like that example of the "Spanish Infantor’s" blue eyes bluewolf......😎
The saddest revelation in Fleib’s blinding adoration of the Mexican failure, is his ignorance of the terms ’First Hand’, ’Second Hand’, Third Hand’ etc.
First Hand is where one witnesses the actual event itself.
Second Hand is where one is told of the event by one who actually witnessed it.
Third Hand is where one reads (or is told) of the second hand rendition of the event.
Fleib appears to absorb the re-telling of the Third Hand rendition of the event (Fourth Hand?) as evidence of the highest stature....🙈
But why bother asking Dietrich Brakemeier for his version (as Fleib has his direct Email address) when he can besmirch his name in tandem with his sociopath Mexican buddy...💩❓
There is nothing this duo can add to the Palladian Thread.....but that doesn’t appear to present a hindrance to their unwanted presence...😷

Folkfreak - I can’t imagine spending this kind of money on a cartridge ...and then having to have a shim made for it to make it work ?
For this kind of money, $15k Canadian dollars, I am talking to the manufacturer to determine his knowledge of my tonearm. I would want assurances from the manufacturer that it will fit, and be compatible. Thats just me. Good luck with it. 

I am curious to know and learn what kind of rock is on the end of the cantilever of a cartridge like this?

Can I ask for some "first hand knowledge" from one of the owners ?
Is it one of these types ?

thanks.

None of those Chris...
It is a Q4 Shibata EVO stylus as used historically for quadraphonic reproduction.
You can read all this in the English translation of the German review that the North American Distributor kindly Linked in an early Post here...😎

It looks to me when you have ZERO knowledge you get easily frustrated cause the audience doesn' t provide applause. You might look for other channels or victims to blame about your own desastrious condition. Instead of being supportive or fond of exchanging positive ideas about the thread's topic you always repeat the same old stories of side scenes (what everyone else already knows)  which has nothing to do with the topic at all. This kind of bullshitting is what many curious and ambitious people are not really fond of.
