Dear Pentatonia: IMHO if you have the money that Lyra ask for then go for the Olympos, it is a great cartridge and better than the original stock Parnassus. That both cartridges have the Lyra signature sound IMHO does not means are similar but different.
Do you think that J.Carr was taking his design/voicing/manufacturer time to build the Olympos with similar performance than the Parnassus and for that charge that kind of money to his customers?
+++++ " Is it wothing the extra cost to create an Olympos cartridge? " +++++
at the level of quality performance that we are talking improvements over that performance are hard to achieve and pricey.
For me and other people can be worth to pay for it but maybe for other persons don't.
I think that you have to contact directly with J.Carr about.
Btw, IMHO the best step up transformer is no SUT but I respect other people opinion on the subject.
Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
