Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners

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.

Dan-ed, As an engineer, you know far better than I what's going on, but as I understand it, the job of the RIAA equalization network is to UN-"squash" that which was squashed during the conversion of the musical signal into grooves on an LP. So, the squashing has been done a priori. Then, if the RIAA equalization is not up to snuff, there may remain some squashed frequencies and/or artificially enhanced frequencies during playback. That's not a good thing, either. I hear the negative effects when I play some early 50s mono LPs that were not cut to the RIAA curve. (Try listening to the original recordings of Ella and Louis, for example.) I say this as someone who is not as anal as Raul about RIAA but who is trying to see his point. I am completely open-minded as regards the SG cartridge, however. Sorry to add one more post, Frogman.
