Latest new generation Lyra

Hi Jonathan, if you don't we might as well ask how the Atlas sounds in comparison to your others...maybe to the Skala or Titan i please. Thanks so much.

We really appreciate you taking the time to post here!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Compared to the Titan i, the Atlas is more immediate and has more presence, has wider dynamics, better imaging and soundstaging, sounds more refined, and seems more communicative of the musicians' intents (as in letting a greater range of emotions through).

The differences are pretty noticeable.

BTW, an important fact that I failed to mention is the Atlas' weight - 11.6g. Definitely heavier than the Titan, although not quite as heavy as the Olympos.

kind regards, jonathan

We now have a full list of Atlas specifications up. Over the past few days the specifications page has alternately appeared and disappeared as we made and replaced various files and managed to break links as well as make them.

Hopefully the specifications page will stay up (smile).

Also, many apologies for the crappy-looking photos (the real cartridge looks considerably better). We didn't manage to trim out the backgrounds cleanly, leaving lots of jaggies, we used the GF file format rather than JPG, and committed various other sins (grin).

sheepish regards, jonathan carr

May i ask once again for tonearms, as above?

Hi Breezer: Oops, overlooked your post.

We have tried the Atlas prototypes in-house with a variety of tonearms that includes the Phantom, but sadly not yet anything by Frank Kuzma.

We will evaluate the Atlas in more tonearms when we get some breathing space (things are still very hectic).

kind regards, jonathan carr
