Iam a Linn owner with a Morch arm. Started out
with a Benz Glider which is a balanced unit for
the price and good for rock and group listening
when people can get a little careless. My limited
listening of higher priced Benz units (Ruby and Ref.)
suggested they were detailed but slightly cool in sound.
the Lyra is richer but not as accurate in detail. Depending
on total system, I would consider a van Der Hal unit. I got
lucky and got a customized Lyra de Capo re-tipped by van
Der Hal which is perfect for my taste. Look for a used
Lyra cart. and send it out for re-tipping.
