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, I did not and thus can only report without conjecture as to the tonearm/cartridge synergy or lack thereof.  However, I do own an LPM320STR-- which is a damn fine cartridge.

Big fan of that Acutex, here too.
Every time I go back and forth between the SoundSmith Grace Ruby and the LPM320STR, I change my mind about which I like best.

N_,

You gossip like you just got your first training bra. You're the one who played Raul's picks as if you were at the race track.  Sorry I told you anything in emails.  I find your behavior thoroughly disgusting. You might be a law prof. of 30 years, but you have no honor.

Dear Ct0517,

I just hooked up my Kuzma Airline with a fantastic compressor, the Dürr Sicotec, also suplying my Caeles air bearing table. I am considering using my ET-2.0 as a second arm on the Caeles too. What I learned regarding linear trackers: it might be not the best choice using carts with rubber parts due to the heavy side movements. I am happy with the Zyx 4 or the Zyx Universe, never considered mounting my Decca London Reference. And in fact it might be worth to give it a try.

Dear Nandric,

I do respect that some friends do not like Lyras. I got different experiences with them, good ones. You are on the wrong track when you think I would compare the Atlas with the Palladian. You might read on my blog what I do think about the Palladian, the Atlas, the Olympos and the Titan i. No reason to show "I am the Peter" or "you are the Paul". I enjoy carts but also suffer from owning too many. So yes, maybe I will sell some in the next time.
It's Xmas time maybe thinking about donation?

Which one you will send Raul and which one to Fleib? Fleib may have lowered his starting options by the last post...?
