Lyra Etna Versus Kleos
The Etna was designed to be similar in terms of overall competence to the Atlas, but have a different set of strengths. As a result, some systems and listeners may prefer the Atlas, while others may prefer the Etna. At least to my ears, Roy Gregory got it right in his recent Etna review on Audio Beat. http://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/lyra_etna.htm |
Dear @jcarr : If I remember when MF made it the Stereophile review on the Etna his comments were similar on the RG ones. He said that overall the Etna was your best effort ( or something like that. ). Even than the Kleos is not an " Etna " by quality performance and price tag it's very good too. I imagine that you are thinking or working in a cartridge that could in the future outperform these top performers. Cartridges in the Lyra price range are very competitive market in between where is dificult to say for sure which is the best one. At this quality level performance quality in cartridges is at the top and what exist are differences but maybe no outperform one to the other. Exactly as both reviews and your comment on strengths to each model. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
