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 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 Stingreen,
I have compared the AT ART 1000 with the Atlas.

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? 🤣

@thuchan interesting you found that with the PHTs. I had much the same experience when I tried it on my old AirTight PC-1. Minimal if any effect and tended to blur and diffuse the sound in a negative way. I use several dozen HFTs in my listening room but for me the PHT was a dud. I still have one on my Miyajima Zero and maybe a good time for me to reevaluate 
More to discover
