Last night I had reason to unbox my UNItractor (or whatever Dietrich calls his first and most elaborate protractor) in order to align a new cartridge, and I once again was able to appreciate its elegance. It is not a simple device, but I like what Einstein is said to have said about solutions to problems (like aligning a tonearm). Something to the effect that the solution should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. DB thought of everything that could go wrong or be a source of error in alignment and provided mechanisms to eliminate them as much as the skill and patience of the user will permit. Well done and worth the relatively high cost.
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 👀

First Geoch and now Thuchan. The Europeans are starting to worry me with the music they are listening to. Leonard Cohen - You Want it Darker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0nmHymgM7Y Sorry Thuchan. No endorphins flowing here for me. I am getting images with this music, of a dark place as the year draws to a close. Not where I want to be. I am afraid to ask what the theme of the parade would have been if it had happened. I thrive on energy, and life, and am drawn to the music of the younger generation, for its energy. Now the beauty of classical music......... is it never gets old. I have been recently feeding more classical music to my son as he is home for the holidays. I sat him down in my chair and I asked him to listen to a piece for a few minutes. I then muted the system and I asked. "What is your opinion son, of this music." "Dad" he said. "This music brings back nice memories of when I was small" "Can you be more specific" I asked. He said "It reminds me of when I used to watch Bugs Bunny on TV" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYM84n-2Sas to the OP - Henry et al - I hope you are listening to music (whatever it is - including LC -RIP) if that is what gets your endorphins flowing. Happy New Year |
