No.
Lyra Lambda Atlas/Etna
i currently play multiple cartridges; within my system, my go-to cartridge (vs LPS, XV1S) ends up being my Transfiguration Proteus which has a fair amount of life left. I am debating sitting tight or can anyone please provide insight if they have ever compared a Proteus to the Etna or Etna Lambda? I recognize Atlas is in a different swim lane, but any comparisons there? I am currently running an ARC Ref 3SE phono- Thanks

@rauliruegas , over the weekend I stumbled into a 15% off deal on one. Would you go for it? I'm not going to buy an F1 in the near future. The Colibri is no longer made. It has morphed into the Condor. Have you heard one of these? |
@mijostyn : You can ask here for the not body wood low output Colibri. This is a trusty retailer with good prices:

@mijostyn, the MSL Signature Platinum is very high in the food chain of modern high end MC cartridges. I haven’t heard it myself, but do own Accuphase AC-6, which is also a Matsudaira design. Based on the price level, this cartridge is most likely at the performance level of the Hyper and Ultra Eminent models (mixing the specs of the former with the boron cantilever of the latter). The system is very dynamic and neutral, almost to the point of being antiseptic. No flavouring, no ‘gorgeous tone colour’ or any other attributes, except of course when it’s in the recording. Of all the cartridges I use it’s probably the most ‘honest’. Assuming this is Matsudaira’s premier design objective, the Signature Platinum will most likely aim for that same goal at the highest level. |
