    Default PHT (POT) phono transducer

    These look interesting if not a little quirky but they have been reviewed by Michael Fremer and appear to do something with the aural presentation of your cartridge....hey man are these really able to achieve something worthwhile. I would love to try one!

    Sounds like a lot of 'foo' to me, but I should add that I haven't tried them. The manufacturer's claim they weigh ".001g". Really? - that's 1mg, or the effective mass of a typical stylus. They look a lot heavier than that to me.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Foo does spring to mind as soon as you start reading about it but they are a curious device which I think would be interesting to investigate? Just when you think everything has been invented surrounding phono cartridges someone comes up with something new.

    It would be very interesting to hear one of these little transducers and to what effect they have, after all in the cartridge world as we all know minuscule changes to a cartridge can have a dramatic effect.

    I am keeping an open mind but for now a closed wallet.

    I wouldn't entertain that for one moment. There's no reason why it should do anything, apart from adding a little mass at the heashell. I'd sooner spend the $199 on a bottle of top quality Snake Oil!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
