Lyra Etna Versus Kleos

I owned the Etna for about a year and loved its natural and full bodied sound, lots of meat on the bones if you will. Another cartridge you might consider is the ZYX Universe II, it strong suits are clarity, and separation of sounds in it's soundstage. Hopefully you will be able to audition some of these cartridges in your set up. Best of Luck

I recently demoed the Etna against the Kleos and I was blown away by the difference.  The Etna by comparison just revealed so much more information off the vinyl than the Kleos that it made the Kleos sound almost one dimensional.  And I know the Kleos is a great cartridge, it's just the Etna is an incredible experience.  Wide, dynamic and immersive.  I had just had the Kleos installed on my tonearm and asked if I could still have the Etna switched out.  Expensive yes, but if you are hardcore about your system it's a must have.  Go listen to it if you can.

Etna....no doubt

I own Delos, Etna SL and Atlas. I have owned the Kleos in the past, which to my ears is Lyra's weakest cartridge.

  Stick with Delos until you can afford the Etna.

I had now a couple of chances to hear a direct shoot out
(performed by the German Lyra importer) of the Kleos, Etna and Atlas.
Last time it were the 3 SL versions.

All cartridges were mounted in the same tonearms and worked
with the same phono stage.

With all music examples the Atlas was the best and the Kleos had
to settle for position three. The Etna sometimes was closer to the
Kleos and sometimes closer to the Atlas.
