I ended up with a new Lyra Kleos, after some significant experiments with loading, which I found to be very critical, I ended up with a custom Vishay at 750 ohms. Accuracy of set up is also imperative with these cartridges, but once it’s right, the cartridge takes off!
Compared to the Koetsu’s I have recently heard, including the Urushi Black and Vermillion, the Lyra is frankly in a totally different league to my ears.. a major improvement over the Koetsu’s in one very important area to my ears...Resolution! IMHO.YMMV etc.,
