Thanks Dover,Informative comments.....The question though is:- Do these $2,000 cartridges miss out on the 'magic' of the Palladian sufficiently enough to make the $8,000 extra investment obligatory? 🤗And note that the Palladian is the very best LO...

Looking forward to this next comparison.  Later.Frogman?...Frogman?....Bueller?.....Anyone?......

Frogman (and I agree) has anointed the AS PALLADIAN LOMC Cartridgeas the 'benchmark' in my system (possibly a tie with the LDR for Frogman and Noromance?)....The Palladian is a current production top-of-the-line LOMC from Acoustical Systems which ...

Thanks for the kind words Rob.I'm pleased you're enjoying the Thread...😀As to your question on styli profiles and cantilever materials.....these are hotly debated topics and some audiophiles have rather staunch and dogmatic views on both.I'm not o...

Oh how wonderful the LDR sounds in MONO....when there's no sound-staging issues 🤗I am completely "immersed, astounded, moved and left shaking my head in disbelief at what I am hearing in my own room....."I didn't know Frogman, that Ray could even ...

This should be an interesting comparison....🤗Five years ago, at the start of the mono-cartridge ’fad’.......I bought the AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-33 MONO LOMC Cartridge to see if there was an improvement over using my stereo cartridges with my Phonostage...

Thanks Frogman.....The reason I showed and commented on the live orchestra in Ravello is that they were all REAL unamplified instruments in 'real' space yet to me.....it didn't matter 😴It left me cold 🥶 and unmoved 🙉....and I really didn't want to...

But, some get closer to it than others.  And that is what I hear and try to describe.  The differences may be very subtle, but they are there.  To me, the Decca sounds closer to the sound of music as I know it than the Shure does.  So, if that is ...

Are you certain it wasn’t a setup or record issue? Well I'm certain it wasn't a record issue because it occurred on all records.I'm not certain it wasn't a setup issue but it occurred on the three tonearms surrounding the Victor......the knife-edg...

Agree with you both on the FR-5E and 6SE,,,,,,I have always preferred the 6SE to the 5 and 5E and have been confounded by the preference of some (J Carr and Chakster) for the FR-5E?They are BOTH coloured cartridges in that they emphasise the 'warm...

I thought it might be interesting to hear the differences between the two cheap Fidelity Research MM cartridges the FR-5E and FR-6SE.There are different opinions on which is the better cartridge 🧐The FR-5E is a low-compliance elliptical stylus on ...
