It’s not often one begins a review by denigrating the product ‘type’ to start with….. But I don’t like ‘modern’ LOMC cartridges. I don’t like their exaggerated high frequencies… I don’t like their recessed unnatural midrange timidity… I don’t ...

And lest anyone forget, Knoll is a reproduction as well, and the best, but those prices!Not true...Knoll produces all the Mies furniture under licence from Mies' original drawings and pays royalties to the Mies van der Rohe Trust.In fact the origi...

I can't drag myself away from listening....So review may have to wait 😎In the meantime, Thuchan, who has all of Dietrich's other cartridges (as well as nearly 100 of the greatest cartridges throughout history) has this to say about the Palladianht...
