Replacing Lyra Kleos at end of its life need suggestions as to what next?
Why anyone would recommend a third party rebuilding a cartridge over the manufacturer is beyond me.  You end up with a cartridge that is not original and harms future resale   Lyra do rebuild their cartridges and the trade in allowance is vwry good. 
Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
@atmasphere Did you not read Pani's commentary?I decided to play with the tonearm at this point. I have a 47 Labs RS-A1 tonearm which has its own standing mount. One can just lift it and place it at the right distance so that the under-hang is cor...

Lyra Atlas experiences
That is 50% off a new Atlas. You get a brand new Atlas as Lyra do a complete rebuild - the only thing reused is the body. Sounds like a good deal to me for one of the best cartridges one can buy.Rebuild costs are similar % in Australia. 
Lyra Atlas experiences
@rauliruegas    personally after owning the A90, I would never touch an expensive Ortofon cartridge with replicant 100 stylus again. @ around 1000 hours playtime, it does not last long enough.  Lyra and Dyna cartridges last at least 2500 to 3000 h...

Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?
@tzh21y you were right.  I am at 300 ohms.  much better.  had it at 475, too bright.  might try 320.Good to hear you tried loading higher.  Around 250- 300 range seems to be the sweet spot for Delos. I also found 500ohms a bit high in my ss phono....

Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?
