Dear @ramtubes : Agree with your last sentence:
" it would be nice to see some amplitude contenders come along. "
but what I really want it about is that the dedicated ( no eq. ) preamp will be designed at really top top first rate quality performance levels.
So maybe the overall develpment of those future stain gauge cartridges must need one expert in the cartridge it self and a second gentleman expert in SS electronics and I mean it. The other thing is that that nex generation of strain gauge cartridges NEEDS universal preamps not dedicated ones. ! ! ! ! ? Seems like a good dream.
Of course that gentlemans as J.Carr or any other today top LOMC cartridges could not be happy about but maybe some of them could make/take the flag for that overall strain gauge next generation cartridges.
It’s obvious and this will be the fourth time in your both threads that I say:
with no cartridge signal heavy degradation by the inverse RIAA eq. in phono stages along no needs of additional gain stages signal degradation what we can listen will makes that LP stays in the market for many many years now because that will be a serious very serious challenge against the best digital technology and obviously we MUSIC lovers will take all those strain gauge new generation of cartridges that will makes a paramount differences for the better as never before in the LP/analog history.

RM, btw the P.Ledermann link disappeared from his site and from internet. Unfortunate.
