Akiva or Titan


I am looking to replace the Arkiv B in my Linn LP12. I am trying to decide whether it is worth the extra $1500 to go with the Lyra Titan.

One concern I have is volume. With the Arkiv B in my system, I really have to crank up the volume. (My system is listed under "2 Channel Basement Stereo") Will either of these cartridges exacerbate the problem?

I have a dear pal,who owns the Titan-I.He is a fanatical collector of classical/jazz "classic" vinyl,and is extremely demanding.The Titan is a fabulous,no FABULOUS product!!I have heard it on many occassions,and he has a wonderful,full range set-up.The dynamics of this design leave nothing to be desired.
Of course there are loads of other great designs,but Lyra has given my friend two free NEW cartridges,as he had two problems(he screwed up,not the cartridge).This is a classy(and financially well off,apparently)company to deal with. Best of luck.
