Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i


Some days ago I made a comparison, in the same System, same Arm, same Headshell, same cables ....
It was quite interesting :-)

Lyra Atlas

Lyra Titan i

... to make a long story short:

Both are very good cartridges, but the Titan still amazed me
[Even after all those years].
The differences are in the tonal preference what the Listener likes to hear, for example the sustain of instruments (Atlas) or the linear reproduction of voices (Titan i)

Swap time is less than a minute. Fore sure you've to adjust VTA, overhang, Azimuth,... but only using the headshell/cart for the first time. So first setup of each headshell/cartridge is about 10 minutes; swapping to "preadjusted" ones requires only VTF adjustment.
Syntax...so what you are saying...based on your experience...is I could almost sell my Atlas and my Triplanar and buy a Graham and Titan i and be better off?

And Lyra has a new Titan i replacement soon I think...
I assume the tonearm is either FR 66 or FR 64 or both.
I am sure that one of the headshells is Arche but have no
idea which the other headshell is. BTW : no extra 'inserts'
by the Arche?
One speculative proposition. Considering the fact(?) that J.Carr is more a scientist than a businessman I don't believe he would produce the Atlas if he was not convinced that this one is his best. I am very fond of Syntax but my trust is on the side of J. Carr in my speculative assumption.
