Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA


I am have a EMT 6.0 cartridge. I'm looking to jump up. Maybe... The EMT Is a great player on my Brinkmann Oasis. smooth realistic and a heap of soul. I have had alot of great moments with it. If I do jump up it will be one of these 2. Does anyone have experience with both of these? I have heard the lyra quit a few times. I know what it does and it does alot well.  I feel like lyra is alot like ARC. Ton of dynamic and clarity, but missing a tad of texture and touch. EMT was my yin to my thoughts on lyra.
Soundsmith I got one good listen at RMAF last year and it really sounded to be great, but I was with ALL gear I dont know.. but ita kinda sounded like it just got out of the way..

If anyone here is attending the CAF Show next weekend, we will be using the Soundsmith Hyperion cartridge. Please stop by to check it out. We are in room 504. Obviously it's difficult to separate the cartridge from the rest of the system, but it's worth a listen.
