Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners

The interesting and innovative part of the SG is for me the synergy concept. For once a complete package includes the cartridge AND the matching phono preamp, totaly voiced for it. It is so difficult to find a phonopreamp that has the ideal load that it is a great thing that the cartridge designer voices the whole chain for better synergy at high level. Kondo has done that but a very high price.

Dear friends: There is something " curious " and very interesting, whereas al the audio industry are working on better audio items: better amplifiers/preamps/CDP/SACD/DVDA/phono stages/MM-MC cartridges/speakers/room treatment/cables/racks/footers/recording manufacturers/electronic parts(passive and active ones )etc/etc with designs with lower distortions/flat frequency/lower colorations to improve the quality sound music reproduction and to be near/true of what is is the recording the SG Soundsmith device is the only audio item that in porpose alter/corrupt the frequency response that comes in the recording " telling " to the whole audio industry chain that all of them are wrong!!!!! including you.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Well.......with all those standards , they still do mess things up - don't they?
And no two components sound alike.......why????

Give me SG which is or isn't up to RIAA standards and I WILL enjoy the music without overanalyzing the principals behind it.

Give me the most distorted amp in the World that sound like live music and I will keep it until I die.

Give me advice that is misleading and makes no sense and that is how I will remember you.

Dear MrjstarK: I'm not saying that sounds bad or not to buy it I'm only point out one of its characteristics, that's all.

Regards and enjoy the music.

This is the one time that I hope that my response is deleted by the Agon censors. Simply because I think Mrjstark's post is an absolutely perfect way to end this thread.
