The Palladian-A step beyond
Nandric, in case you hadn't noticed, my post on 12/10 10:37pm was addressed to Raul after he documented a lengthy attack. I commented on the substance of his post and ended:"Despite any history you might have with Dertonarm AKA Dietrich Brakemeie...

Nandric,*** ''the counselor'' which post ''do not help (his) friend''is public so everyone is entitled to comment. As a ''counsellor'' I don't think that your witness (aka Raul) will make your post very convincing. Your pretended neutrality regard...

Nandric,I think you would have been better off letting this go instead of reminding me that I am not in the business, not a professional, which also means I'm not in competition with Acoustical Systems.  I can't remember having any interaction wit...

Raul, good documentation. I wasn't aware of those threads you linked to. There's always a danger in trying to justify subjective opinion(s) with science, especially when it's phony science. The posts by Mark Kelly are interesting.  I already resol... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Chakster, JLTi phono stage has sockets for loading plugs. David Dlaloum  (used to post here) has one and thinks highly of it. They were $1800 US. It might be hard to find one on the used market. They are now being made in Australia and sold direct... 
Best Tonearm Upgrades for Linn LP12
**Which tonearms will make the greatest improvement for the least money? And which tonearms are great matches with the turntable?**The Alphason HR100S and the Zeta were bolt in replacements for the Ittock.  If you can find one of these, it should ...

**Why do they dominate the high end? **I think you know.  Despite their limitations, "they do have the undeniable virtue of costing more."  What would you use on your Thorens  or Goldmund Reference, a Shure V15?  How about a beautiful Koetsu to ad...

Not so fast Raul.Okay, here's the deal; I saw a PDF written by Dietrich Brakemeyer in 2015. It kind of explains the design criteria of uni din. It gives a brief history of alignments (I won't bore you with the details) and talks about his alternat...

Raul, Given your criteria for a great cart (sounding live), you might like the Acoustical Systems offerings?  I try to keep an open mind, but like you, won't endorse something I haven't heard or jump on some bandwagon. Have you heard any of the ot...

Halcro,  Even if the movements on the stylus end are similar, I think we  need to look at the stylus/cantilever as a system, a vibrator.  That might sound funny, but that's exactly what it is. That little guy has to vibrate 20,000 times per second...

***Why would a MM cart have any difference in stylus movement than a MC?***I don't think you can attribute any differences there to generator type, seems more like a function of stylus profile, contact area, groove height and that sort of thing. I...

Seems to me this conversation is getting a bit strange. Someone is saying the mechanical amplitude of cantilever movements should be the same for different carts, or types of carts?That's a bizarre notion. Maybe you're looking at the stylus end of...

Nandric,First of all, to imply is an English verb meaning by suggestion or supposition.https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/implyInfer means to conclude from evidence, not imply.https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/infer***''Implie...

**I never understood why someone might prefer a "revealing" component? Is the objective to find flaws in recordings & other gear or to enjoy music? **Revealing is to expose information otherwise hidden. Too revealing is a consequence of limita... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Obviously the words "guessing" and "implies" means it's conjecture, but it's a possibility, a likely one. There's no new technology here just a potted MC and apparently a very good one. Then again, perhaps it has some magical qualities, being able...
