Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type??
The Lyra Atlas SL, search all over the Internet, can’t seem to find the type of magnet being use on the cart. Any members have info. on this, can you advise? Much appreciated!
Yes... i did call the distributor ( Audioquest ), they have no idea what kind (type) of magnet being use to built the cartridge.

@zipost Unfortunately, I think choosing a cartridge is the most difficult thing in this hobby, I started a thread somewhere on the web about exactly this....due to the inability of one to actually hear the design before purchase. Some folks really dislike Lyra’s...because they claim them to be lean...others really dislike Koetsu’s, too warm. I think if..a big if, you can hear the cartridge in your own system before committing, that will be a significant plus. Good luck with your acquisition. |
A diamond cantilever can be different too: 1) One piece cantilever/stylus like Sony did long time ago, on this cantilever no one can remove the stylus tip, stylus is a part of cantilever. However the whole piece of diamond attached to a long aluminum pipe anyway. I don't have a picture of SONY with diamond cantilever, but the joint pipe looks exactly like this one with sapphire cantilever. 2) One piece cantilever + stylus like Dynavector did, this is very short cantilever, the diamond stylus tip attached to diamond cantilever with minimum glue. But two pieces. P.S. Coating one material with another is also very old technique, Stanton did that on his best signature model SC-100 W.O.S. long time ago, there was an aluminum cantilever coated with Red Sapphire. |
