FWIW a friend had good results with a London Decca Reference on his Terminator linear tonearm, then tasted an Acutex LPM320STR and sold the Decca.
I can believe that.....
Did you get to hear the Decca in the Terminator yourself..?
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 👀

Halcro http://www.decibelhifi.com.au/london-reference-pickup-arm/ is that dealer located near you Henry ? I run a custom ET 2.5 straight tracker. It has patents. Mine is a custom built unit from Bruce Thigpen. It also has this special joint part that we call the Gooseneck, that I was able to acquire from your neighbor New Zealand, courtesy of Richard Krebs. Also a custom ET2 straight tracker user. fwiw My tonearm has been, with the exchange of appropriate armwands and leaf springs for compliance tuning, able to handle everything from a lightweight Sonus Blue Gold to the XV1. So not worried about the Decca. As long as the records off-center is decent, and the air really good, the arm can handle anything mounted to it. |
