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..

The EMT are a nice cartridge. I have not been without one for many years. I run a Tsd-75. I have an Air Tight PC-7 now as well. Please let us know what you think of the Pure Lime. I'm unfamiliar with their newest models.
