Lyra Helikon upgrade

Having lived very happily with my Helikon for 2 years, I am now contemplating an upgrade, the helikon tracks great has bags of detail and imaging. On good recordings it is fantastic, however I would like something a little more full bodied for those recordings that are less than perfect. My TT is an sme 10 with a iv arm. Currently I am interested in the Lyra Skala, and the benz LP is also on my list.
Thanks for any input...
Happy listening

I have just placed an order for the Skala... here in eu land there are no Kleos to be had. In all honesty it was an impulse...I do hope it hits the spot!

I love Lyra carts for their tone and build quality. I have a Delos and have used a Dorian. I can't imagine ever buying another brand - and I've tried many.

I too am a dedicated Lyra fan, currently owning both a Helikon and an Argo i. Lyra styli track extremely well and retrieve the music to a level I have not yet experienced with other brands I've owned, those being Koetsu, van den Hul and Benz Micro. Plus, they look beautiful and, once set up correctly, forget about continued tweaking, just enjoy.
