Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners

DISCLAIMER: Rauliruegas is co-designer and co-manufacture of the Essential 3160 Solid State Preamp with built-in phonostage.

Dear Raul;

I cant read anymore of your posts. Also, the sign off

"Regards and enjoy the music"

is like a diet soda bad aftertaste, and the music now sounds more off-key, not nearly as clear, and nowhere as much fun. Thanks for taking the joy out of my day, and oh yes, for the belated "top of your mind" after-thought on my health. Etiquette is not your long suit.

signing off for a long, long time,

Dear Peter: Really sorry to hear that.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Peter,

Thanks for chiming in. I have heard the SG and I think it sounds great! I am so sick of hearing about this RIAA standard I could puke. I posted this thread to find out if other people liked what they heard from the SG. Raul, a simple no would have sufficed. Raul, you posted 15 times on this thread and basically just repeated the same thing over and over. I did not know you were a designer of a phono stage. Thanks Dan ed for pointing this out. Raul, you lost all credibility with me by slamming someone else's product and not stating up from that you were a designer and competitor.

Peter,

I am sorry to hear about your illness. I hope you are well soon. I would like to talk to you more about the SG when you are feeling better.

Dear Slowhand: That's why I have to repeat and repeat: I'm not a competitor, the SG can't compete with MC/MM cartridges: can you understand it after " repetitive " 15 posts?.

I'm not slamming, I'm trying to pointing out/find out what is " around " the SG to understand what kind of device it is.

Between other things this is what you can read in the Soundsmitht web-site:

+++++ " No "RIAA" filter multi-stage preamp circuitry is required or used in our preamp - We have just one ULTRA clean gain stage between you and your music (RIAA compensation IS required for "velocity" sensitive magnetic cartridges - The Strain Gauge is a "displacement" device......which automatically compansates for the RIAA EQ, " ++++++

when almost any one read that a " cartridge ( SG ) " does not needs a RIAA stage because " automatically compensates for the RIAA eq.: you have to ask ( only by curiosity ) how is that?.
At least one other people ( read the link I posted ) ask about and no one( like you) was " angry " because of that. Maybe you can't understand the importance to know how the SG works but IMHO I think that I make me a favor to learn about and maybe some other people can/could appreciate that.

Slowhand if something has a white color and I ask you which is the color of that " something ": what is your answer? because mine is " white " IMHO the things must be called for their " names " its precise names, that's the way I'm: not to polite, NO.

With al respect to you I don't care if I lost credibility with you only because I want to find the true: I don't care I always go for the true, nothing wrong for that. It is lewd/improper try to " hide " the true when you have it in front of you, if for this I lost my credibility then : welcome!

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
