Lyra Kleos and VPI Aries 3 - will this work

I'm considering a trade-up to an Aries 3 from a Scoutmaster. And I'd like recommendations on a suitable cartridge.
I was leaning to the Kleos but have read reports that the Lyras aren't a good match with VPI arms because of sibilance problems.
Anyone using a Lyra on a VPI table?

Thanks,

maxh

There are many other tables that better mate with a Lyra. Dump the VPI. Forget about the Aries as after the Aries I, it was all downhill, especially as relates to the platter.

Maxh, Harry will always love you. I think Harry makes some great products, I own a few, and that his business model has made him a wealthy man. However, I don't think he makes the best sound for the buck. A good illustration of this is the 'periphery ring', grossly over priced and technical inferior to the same type product made by TT Wrights. I think Harry's worst disaster was the 'rim drive', technically a step back, overpriced and hard to service. Thank goodness he has moved on with more reasonable priced products.
