@jsbail , I have a Lyra Atlas. and several other cartridges including a My Sonic Signature Platinum. I think you would be thrilled with one of these cartridges. They are exactly what you are looking for. In the Soundsmith low output line I think the Sussurro is the sweet spot. Still more on the clinical side of things. If you want warm and fuzzy you should check out the My Sonic Line.
analog upgrade suggestions needed
I am thinking of a cartridge upgrade. System is Nottingham space deck with spacearm I have enjoyed for 20 years. Phono pre is Allnic H5500.
Current cartridges are Lyra Lydian B that has been rebuilt by Soundsmith. I like the sound of the Lyra better since the rebuild! I also have a Dynavector 20x2L. I like the fullness of the Dynavector and the detail of the Lyra. So I want something that will give me both. I am looking at Lyra Kleos, , Soundsmith Paula Mk2. The Soundsmith is attractive for their reasonable re-build policy.
Is my space deck up to the task? Question for Nottingham experts only; Is it worth adding a wave mechanic or would I be better off selling my Spacedeck and looking for a used Space 294.
