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.

Dear Peter,

I have been following with some interest your discourse re your Strain Gauge cartridge. I find some of the comments made, on this thread, and others on the same subject, are out of line, and off-base.

For myself, I just want to thank you for the superb retip you've done on my Dynavector XX2MKII, which I just got back a couple of weeks ago.

It's hard for me to understand how a new Sapphire cantilever, and superior stylus shape, could make such a profound improvement in how this cartridge now sounds, which to my ears, is far better than I recall it sounding when new.

I did send an email stating my appreciation to Craig @soundsmith.com, but I wasn't sure you got it. I wanted to make sure you got the word.

Thanks again, and best regards,
Dan
