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 👀

Hello Halcro & Chris,

FWIW a friend had good results with a London Decca Reference on his Terminator linear tonearm, then tasted an Acutex LPM320STR and sold the Decca.

Halcro, I did not and thus can only report without conjecture as to the tonearm/cartridge synergy or lack thereof.  However, I do own an LPM320STR-- which is a damn fine cartridge.

I’ll confess to playing Cohen’s You Want It Darker LP during the Xmas afternoon celebration. It suited my holiday mood and, reflecting upon the profundity of his poetry, may not have been as incongruous to the occasion as one might think. Unfortunately my family strongly disagreed with his sepulchral baritone and the LP was summarily dismounted at risk of indigestion. I’ll try again this New Year’s Eve.
