Lyra Atlas experiences


A few years ago, I invested in a Lyra Atlas cartridge / pickup. I have moved up, from Lyra Clavis in the early 2000s and Lyra Titan i later. The Atlas was expensive, but I have not looked back. Yet I wonder, can something more be done, to optimize the Atlas, in my system, and others. How can this remarkable pickup run its best. What are the best phono preamp and system matches. Should the system be rearranged. Have anyone done mods or DIYs to their systems to get the "reception" right? What happened? Comments welcome. You dont need to own a Lyra Atlas but you should have heard it, to join this discussion. Comments from the folks at Lyra are extra welcome - what is your experience.

@dwette A very encouraging complimentary write up, on the early usage of the 'LAL-SL'.

I can only see the smile increasing and the enthusiasm topping out, as you go over the 100ish Hour of usage marker.

Happy Listening   

A system I am extremely familiar has been demonstrated to me within the past week with a New Floor Standing Cabinet Speaker in use, or not in use🤔, the only way the Speaker could be identified with was from Sound and Visual, the Speaker Cabinet impact on a SQ, is something I am sensitive to. These Speakers Cabinets have no effect to what my ears perceived.

The Vinyl Chain due to these speakers is one I am unfamiliar with, and I still scratching my head about the demonstration, it has made such a good impression.

It certainly has reinforced a view I have carried for a long time, being every thing up stream of the Speaker is processing a electric signal, it is from the exit of the  Speaker Xover that the Sound is produced, and it is the Sound that we listeners Judge and Assess by.

Looks like the different Sub's fit into this theory/fact.
