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 analoguvr, I suppose that nobody in our forum has heard

about the King Nikola from Montenegro. He promissed all kinds

of things to his people which, as usual, were impossible to fulfil.

One of his servants stated: ''My Lord if I would dear to say that

I would say that you are a lier but I don't dear''.

It is not funny.
Moderators must banned for ever.
They have just erased my post on another thread, just because I find Oyaide inferior to IeGo, Copper color, Sonar Quest.
WTF?
I'm running out from here once again...
Goodbye

... I would never purchase a 10K cartridge as I would find it an insult to my intelligence.
You're insulted by the price of something you apparently have no interest in purchasing?  You must feel insulted quite frequently!

To keep this on track, Halcro, did you use a torque wrench on your cartridge screws?  The tension on cartridge screws can certainly affect sonics, for all the reasons you and others reiterate.  If one were to draw conclusions regarding the efficacy of this or that fastener per se, then I think torque has to be a constant.

Solong, it's fascinating that you have already done research on titanium screws.  Prior to now, had you drawn any conclusions?  Thanks.  I've just been using aluminum or plastic screws or anything non-magnetic.

Nandric, The best I can figure out  is that my post(s) were deleted because I used the word "virgin", in the context of re-telling a well known anecdote about Groucho Marx and Doris Day.  Since neither Groucho nor Doris will be reading this thread, I cannot believe it was because my post(s) might have offended them.  Moreover, those two would have laughed and probably did laugh. By the way, Doris is a much under-estimated chanteuse.  If you have the LP of her singing with Andre Previn, it's pretty good work.
