| sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive You may want to retract your comment by taking a closer look - it is not just a "sticker" as you indicate. It is a highly machined part that comes WITH a specialized sticker that allows highly repeatable adjustments. | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge I deeply appreciate the depth of the comments being made here (with an obviousl exception of one participant). In the past 40 years that I have lived with/created/compared the Strain Gauges I have made and those that have been made by others, I ha... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge You may want to read the recent review on the SG-220 Strain Gauge by Jack Roberts of Dagogo, and almost more importantly, the comments from both an owner, and an early developer. Fascinating. With that in mind, please understand that there is a lo... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Raul; PLEASE STOP IT. You know NOTHING technically about my current design. You are a manufacturer who INSISTS on hiding that fact - because you have a hidden agenda. In fact, several of them. I have asked you repeatedly, as have MANY OTHERS on th... | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge SG-200 cartridge system While I appreciate deeply the pro's and cons of varied designs, which are far less varied than the listening preferences of audiophiles, those that indicate that one MUST listen to a particular product at length to create a long term opinion are c... | |
| Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos Possibly a better way to think about the SG is this: when RIAA is applied to a magnetic cutterhead, it reduces the low end,and boosts the highs. This is done for various reasons, but the result is basically a contant displacement groove modulation... | |
| Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos I am on a boat -typing is HARD HERE! GROUP DELAY was what I was trying to type -Peter | |
| Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos One addition note -I do not deny anyone's tastes -however, I question the statement about lack of upper order harmonics. The SG cart has lower distortion than most magnetic carts, a near perfect square wave, and amazing phase accuracy in terms of ... | |
| Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos Dear Leicachamp;If the Lyra sounded better, that's great. THe whole purpose of this endeavor is to find what works for you. As to the differences between the Strain Gauge and the Sussurro, I would say that They are day and night. 80 percent of fol... | |
| Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos Dear Leicachamp;The below links may be helpful to you.The Strain Gauge system has changed over the years I have been producing it. We are now in the 4th generation design. I have been working with them for the past 35 years. The below are some rev... | |
| Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos Raul;You really need to get off that soapbox. You sound like a broken record that doens't conform to anything except your limited, warped opinion. You don't own a strain gauge, and your comments about such have caused you to lose many friends. Peo... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Addition; Twist the lead out wire ONLY if needed; if the cartrdige tracks inwards as described above with the wire in its "natural" relaxed state; no change or twisting before plugging in is needed. THEN apply anti-skating as described. The ctylus... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Azimuth adjustment;Always start with the cartridge as physically neutral as possible as viewed from the front. It should be as flat as possible. Your “best setting” is here or not more than 3 degrees from this position, either clockwise or counter... | |

Anyone need an RA NUMBER??We finaly set up an automated RA system for retipping on our website. You can register and get an RA number anytime. 24/7. And when we receive you... | |
| Troubles with Sound-Smith return communications? That should read - 40 year old table. I got caught up in meetings today - bit I DID work on the table for a few more hours to try to catch the last intermittent speed problem. Will test it some more tomorrow. Please call me - our phone does respon... |
