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 Downunder, For the sceptic who are convinced that no real

improvement in cart technology is made since 80is your statement

must be devasteting: two world best carts in one month time.

Dear Thuchan, Thanks for your instructions. I have seen the

construction meanwhile and fear that an possible retip of the stylus

and/ or cantilever is out of question. Aka: irrepareble . The stylus

must be somehow connected with the coils ; either by glue or some

wire both of which will make this construction very vulnerable. To me

the cantileverless Ikeda 9 looks much more  reliable and simpler.

I hope Dover will be so kind to explain this issue.


Dear Nandric,
As promised i would like to tell you about my impressions of a tweaking gear Fremer/Deutsch had succesfully tested on carts, the Synergistic PHTs. I expected a kind of joker effect.
Although I realized a subtle difference it wasn’t that overwhelming.
Maybe I am spoiled too much? 🤣
