Lyra Olympos vs Parnassus naked original version

Has anyone ever compared Lyra Olympos vs Parnassus (original version)? I have just bought a Parnassus and was a really exciting experience listening to it . It was the first time I lived the vibration of the music in every little detail, with lots and lots of energy without any harshness or politeness. Is it wothing the extra cost to create an Olympos cartridge?

P.S.
I must say Parnassus was nude and connected with a very unique step up transformer that will be in the market in a very limited quantities.

Thank you in advance.

I don't think, that they are more or less identical, because the Olympos uses the magnets only. The Olympos uses the Titan Body (I think I read it somewhere), this was made later when the Titan cartridge was introduced. Then there is the needle, the suspension which can be changed too (or more). You can ask Lyra for that special information.
Anyway, when you like the sound of the Parnassus and don't want to spend the money to go for Olympos, they will rebuild the Parnassus (they support their older Designs).
