dealing with carts may be a never ending story. Halcro and Nandric, Lew and many other serious audiophiles are facing the same challenge. What we could do is selling some and concentrate only on our favourites but...Yesterday I listened to the Lyra Atlas on my Caeles table (true airbearing design). After that I could tell everyone why it is necessary to have the Atlas. I love it!
A similar experience I had when I listened to the Palladian. I was very sceptical if it would give me more information than the other AS designs?
It did. This is really a new design. I doubt that I would meet someone driving the Palladian and not becoming fascinating by the Live Sound it produces. You need to hear this to believe!
I am using the AS protractor, the big one. After all my previous protractors this is the one which made me happy. Not because I am an AS boy or this other emotional BS spilled out of an angry and frustrated man. No, because it caters to my needs perfectly. A good sound is the result.
Just a side information: In the meantime it is the best sold protractor in Germany in the last two years.
