My experience with the Dorian has been much more positive than the Dyna. The Dorian is a focused cart, though not totally detailed, and it is very well balanced. The Dyna seems a little mushy to me, and euphonious in the way the Benz's and Grado's are. I will say that it seemd as good as the $1000. Benz I've heard on a VPI - and VPI loves Dyna's and recommends them for their tables. A UK company says on their website that the Notts have very good synergy with the Lyra's - the Notts have a very balanced presentation as well. Those who don't like the Lyra line so much say it sounds a little constipated.

Has anyone compared these two? Which would work better for me? I am using a Nottingham Interspace with a stock Rega arm (to be modded one day). A Lehmann Black Cube(stock) an a 30 watt tube integrated amp. Revel M20s but, that will be the next thing to change after the cartridge.
