Did you try any other cartridges besides Lyra ?
What's the budget?
What's the budget?
Cartridge options going forward
I have owned Lyra for the last 10 years or so, Skala (retipped once by soundsmith), Kleos and most recently the Etna. I did try a Soundsmith Sussuro but did not keep it. Would like to find something under 5000. Retipping or rebuilding is a long process and I don't want to be without. I am not quite at the replacement/rebuild point yet.Just trying to get a feel for what might be an alternative. That said a legit under 5000 Etna alternative may be hard to come up with. |
Dear @mtwilke : IMHO What you need is a cartridge that can walk along the quality of your analog rig, the Etna is to much for your analog rig honored its great quality performance this cartridge can shows any audiophile. This one could gives you exceptional overall MUSIC enjoyment and put on sale the Etna or if you still want the Etna then you must change your analog rig. Your choice: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/cartridges/line-series/art-series/at-art9xa Btw, @elliottbnewcombjr you have no idea about the quality performance of cartridges like the Etna levels. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
