I have used both the Ruby2 and the Helikon in my Rockport SiriusI table and have a strong preference for the Helikon. I agree that it requires braking in but in time, it proved to be more coherent, better focused, and tighter in the bass. Like others, my listening has been through an IO phono.
Benz Ruby Low Output or Lyra Helkion?
I have a Rowland set up with the cadence phono stage. As my analog set up, I have a VPI Aries with the Graham tone arm. I listen to all types of music. I would be stepping up from a Benz Glider to either of the cartrdiges listed above.
