Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners

I would like to hear from owners of Strain Gauge cartridges (particularly Soundsmith owners)as to how you like the strain gauge system compared to previous cartridges you have owned. Is there any drawbacks to the Soundsmith Strain Gauge system?

I am located in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Is there any Soundsmith Strain Gauge owners in the Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana area?

I read the review of the Strain Gauge system on Audiogon by Vac man. It was a very good review and answered many questions for me. I would like to hear from others who also own strain gauge cartridges.

Thanks in advance for any info that you can give me.

The Strain Guage definitely has its supporters. I heard it only in several shows. I came away loving the Voice & finding the Strain Gauge more analytical like CD. I think it is an extremely accurate cartridge. Is it what you are looking for will depend on your systen. Remember I am premising my comments based on brief listening. Others have agreed w me from the same experience.

Stringreen,

I always use the cup of tea expression. Glass of Orange Juice is a new one. IMO, a cartridge is more like tea and less like orange juice. Come to think of it, maybe a glass of Scotch or for the Irish Whiskey.
