Have you checked with Lyra about rebuilding your Etna with the lambda upgrade?
Cartridge options going forward
As much as I hate to admit it, my Lyra Etna is getting a little long in the tooth. I really look forward to listening to music with this cartridge but the amount of money they get for it has reached the point where I want to consider a more fiscally responsible alternative. I have owned a Kleos and Skala before the Etna and while the Kleos is good, it is not an Etna. Any ideas?

Many suggest restoration. I would ask Steve’s advice before going any further, he is highly respected. https://vasnyinc.com/repair-service/ he gave me some good specific advice when I was researching, considering buying something for him to repair, sent him model names of ones I was considering. I don’t think I will ever buy a very expensive cartridge, especially as I came to decide I would buy new, not re-tip or re-build, I always want a new suspension, so get a better profile and thus longer lasting stylus, enjoy it, new cartridge when needed. I liked the specs, bought this new one, it’s my first MC, I love it’s wide channel separation imaging ability and it’s tight channel balance which allows a very stable phantom center. https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/cartridges/type/moving-coil/at33ptg-2 |
