Soundsmith Strain Gage Cartridge system

Hi Exlibris,

I was using a Lyra Olympos moving coil cartridge (single coil), a custom-made Dave Slage (Intact Audio) step-up transformer, custom-wound wire-wound resistors (Intact Audio), an Artemis phono preamp PH1 and a custom-made Dave Slage (Intact Audio) autoformer volume control. Because I had enough voltage gain, I didn't need a line stage. With the SG system I don't need any of the previous equipment. The SG system drives my amps directly. I hope this helps.

That helps; thanks.

John, any more thoughts now that you've spent some more time with the SoundSmith and the Strain Gauge???

Hi Nrchy,

I don't have any more thoughts. It still sounds wonderful.

Sincerely,

John

I hope to have one in my system in January.
