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.

Agree
Hear it for yourself if possible.
IMHO - it is an awesome product which I would love to have in my collection if budget permit that.
Take my words with grain of salt seen my limited expousure to SG.
However, on both occasions my thoughts were the same - some of the best analog reproductions I've heard.

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.
