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 👀

Dear Nandric,

So true :-)

Just listened to the Palladian again. The last Leonhard Cohen album "You want it darker". How wonderful!!! What a cart! And what a good recording & pressing.
Lord, I am ready...

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

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"

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

Thanks Chris...
Are you sure you don't like L. Cohen....👀😱❓
If you like the recording of Cohen's last album Thuchan......you must hear his triple Live London Concert....
All his greatest songs with simply remarkable recording quality.

Thank goodness 2016 is over...💩
Happy New Year to all 😃
ct0517,

If the first song "You want it darker" of the LP doesn't thrill you something must be wrong with your playback system, maybe the tonearm?  😇
It is a good example showing the system is able to bring you into ecstasy!
No? 😱 Play it loud if it is possible...

Halcro, I got only the Live recordings "Songs from the road" and "Live at the Isle of Wright 1970". Thanks for the hint.

I am just listening to the early MFSL LPs like Bob Seeger - Night Moves. These early productions were really good, absolutely stunning in sound and quality (1-034).
Dear Chris,
please try this 2LPs:

****Pieter Nooten/Michael Brook-"Sleeps with the Fishes"
****This Mortal Coil-"Blood"

and if you like new wave from 80's: 
****Clan of Xymox-"Medusa"

there is beauty in this darkness
