The Palladian-A step beyond
nandric, I think your last post sums up most of the critique, if I can call it that, in this thread. What never ceases to amaze me is how people with little to no technical knowledge and experience pontificate and personally attack the few experts... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
I am sitting back basking in the sound of my Palladian, aligned to UNI-DIN, which gives me an unprecedented amount of information for my senses to process. The additional information is in so many regards: ambience, all parts of the frequency spec... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Since a number of us are quoting heroes, I feel I must quote one of mine, Black Adder.Sir Percy: "The Spanish Princess' eyes are more beautiful than the famous blue stone of Galveston."Black Adder: "Have you ever seen this stone?"Sir Percy: "No, n...

The Palladian-A step beyond
"Newcomers always welcomed." Well thank you rauliruegas for your wonderful welcome and damning praise! Sir, “with all my respect to”, what an impressive ability you have to dam something that you have not heard through shear speculation based on p... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Halcro, thank you for your review which I very much enjoyed reading. I would not change one word of it. I have now enjoyed many hours listening with my Palladian in my Axiom arm. I also have an FR7f 6 digit and an Aiwon. The Aiwon is to me a wonde... 
Esoteric K-03X Runin RCA & XLR Outputs Separately?
Many thanks to you all for your helpful advice. Guidocorona & Zephyr24069, I have moved to S_ldy2 and 8x upsampling, and using the balanced cable I will run this setting in. Guidocorona I read your very helpful thread on the settings for the K... 
How can Acoustic Revive RR-888 produce 7.83hz?
Thank you to all, & particular thanks to Sksos1 for your very kind offer to come and listen to your unit, but I live in Hong Kong. Let me know if you are ever over this way. I recently bought a RR-888 and am still experimenting & listening... 
Stylus Rake Angle
SRA/VTA adjustment requires overhang adjustment. This point has been mentioned by some and glossed over by others. Here is Judith Spotheim's take from her setup instructions at page 20 for her 1990's The SpJ Arm (which allows for VTA & overhan... 
Stylus Rake Angle
Sorry to slightly hijack this thread. My problem is that I cannot reliably move my Dino microscope to where I need to in order to take a photo. I use a carbon fiber tripod and adjustable metal arm (Photek The eXtender, 38" Telescopic Horizontal Tr...

Kiwi, The decision is Global. But there are still a few around.All the bestBluewolf 
Power Conditioner? Furman?
John,Have you bought one yet? I have bought two supposedly serious "audiophile" power conditioners (the Tice Powerblock & Titan back in the early 1990s, and more recently the Running Springs Dimitri so wonderfully reviewed in TAS) and they sig... 
Best earplugs?
Rlwainright, Thanks for the tip. Have just ordered some and will give them a try. I use them mainly for karting and driving a too loud old Porsche. All the best,Bluewolf 
Step up transformer for Benz Ebony TR cartridge
I would have, but I managed to buy an Omnigon preamp which incorporates SUTs similar to the Syntax SUT. 
Step up transformer for Benz Ebony TR cartridge
Pani,I have a brand new TR which I hope to get up and running in a few weeks. From what I have read you need a step-up transformer to get the most out of this cartridge, and good ones are very hard to find. I would go for the Syntax. Contact eithe...
