I do not know if many people have any experience of this TT. It seems to be one of a small group that punch above their weight. Another that springs to mind is the Artemis Labs. interestingly they both are no longer made (I think), whilst the DP and the Nordic Labs are. The Palmer was supported in the US by Gene Rubin and the AL was a F Schroder design.
This group seems to eschew the use of unobtainable materials, complex technology, massive oil drums and hydraulic pistons. Relying on basic understanding of materials and the design principles of the TT. Producing 'elegant design' that is the aim of all mathematics. I have a feeling that the reputation of the Palmer rests mainly on the design and composition of the plinth (as with the Artemis Labs); the management of the three key basic but complicated factors of plinth stiffness, mass and damping.
Anyway the point about all of this is to obtain some views from people who have some experience of these decks (especially the Palmer). Most of them are sensibly priced and, if most of the comments are to be believed deliver outstanding performance.
