The Palladian-A step beyond

Dear thuchan, ''never ending story''? There are two whole

 months since I bought my last cart. Rauls ''MM'' contra revolution imply

(sorry Flieb) some revolution. You are my much younger twin

(Bond) brother but surely can remember the MC revolution ?

It started with  the first Supex version. This imply (sorry again Fleib)

some kind of consenus among the participants in this revolution.

My Sumiko 800 ( the ''better Breuer'') is designed with 6 counter

weights but the most owners have just one. Back then people

owned just one cart and depending on the cart weight the right

Sumiko weight was provided by the dealers. The idea being to

get each cart as near to the pivot as possible. So carts from 6g

till 22 g could be adjusted with those weights. Collecting carts is

then obvious some kind of (psychological) deviation. The primary

reason probably membership of whatever forum. If some crazy

member got the idea to own TWO carts the rest could not afford

to stay behind. That is how this megalomanic paranoia started.

As an innocent novice I was brainwoshed in such way that

I collected +40 MM carts despite the fact that I always prefered

the MC kind. My modesty does not allow to say how many(grin).

I think that you as my (much) younger brother should have more

respect for your (little) older brother and consequently post to me

at least two of those damn expensive titanium screws. BTW I

had no idea that titanium is more expensive than gold. With

exception of course of those guys by NordOst who suceeded

to turn copper into gold . Qua price that is.

Raul, glad to see you're back. Nice post - focused and concise.

Halcro does not need a road map to find the way home.  No, Brakemeier did not reinvent the phono cartridge, but it looks like he did everything right. Why should he spend time building the motor when Ortofon, VdH, whoever, can build it to spec for him? 

Years ago my wheel man had a '68 Chevy Z-28 Trans America road racer.  This was factory custom ordered set up for the Baja. It was aluminum alloy from head to toe (rear) w/ 3/4 race cam. The Holly 4-bbl was the size of the block. You could stick your fist down each barrel.

It had a close ratio 4 speed, Holly shifter, clutch like a tow truck, and a 25 lb. spring on the gas pedal so you didn't blow it up. Sucker red lined at 7K rpm - did 60 mph in first gear. 

I drove it home one night cause dude was in space. I did 165 - my personal high and I still had pedal left.  Got home pretty quick too.

Best regards to you and your family this holiday season,

“Dear @fleib : As you stated: don't lost your time.”

We will survive so so well without two people who have zero interest in the subject and only wish to troll.

Dear bluewolf, I am not sure if I  follow my own advice but I

certainly do follow Halcro's advice reg. Raul's post. However

he deed not give the same advice reg. Fleib.  Besides I do

enjoy my disputes with Flieb.
