Koetsu vs Dynavector vs Lyra??


I am starting my search to replace my 8 year old Koetsu Rosewood Signature. I was told that a the Onyx is the most logical choice because I do like the Koetsu sound. However, if there is something out there that can give me a bit more punch and 3d imaging, while maintaining that warm Koetsu sound, I would be interested. I have read and heard good things about the Lyra Titan and Dynavector XV-1S but never heard either. This cartridge will mount on a Basis 2800 with Vector 4 Arm.

Any feedback is appreciated.

As Raul has said, I am not sure you can go wrong with any of theses cartridges. They are all excellent. I used a Rosewood Signature for years and loved it. Tried the Zyx Airy 3 and did'nt really like it that much. Now on a Benz Micro LP and just love the sound, but it still is'nt a Koetsu.
I plan to get another sometime, probably 2nd hand and it will be a Rosewood Signature Platinum or one of the Urushi's. But really, XV1 S, Orpheus, perhaps Ortofon Winfield, I do'nt think you can go wrong with any of them. Nor should you have a problem, considering how much they all cost
