Which would you choose- Lyra, Zyx or Benz for VPI
I have experience with Benz and Lyra, I even have the Helikon and Skala both. I would suggest that you get the Skala, as far as the trackign is concerned The Skala is a complete redesign and is much more close to the Titan. I did not have a good e... 
What Turntable and Why .........
I would put my money on the TW Accoustics Reaven AC. With a tri Planer or a Graham Phantom. I have observed remarkable difference between the TW Raven AC and the VPI Line. I have not heard the Nottingham but can say that the TW is as good if not b...

What cartridge mates well with graham 2.2t
Try the Lyra Helikon, Its about $ 2000 new or you can try the ortofon Kontrapunkt B for $ 1100. Lyra is an amazing Cartridge, I have personally used the MONO Helikon, but am using the Lyra Skala Stereo. I use the Graham Phantom. I would say that t... 
cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra
Since the mono groove is a bit thicker than the stereo one, they make the stylus a according to the grooves as well. Here is the Difference:The cantilever for the Helikon Mono is a solid boron rod, and the stylus profile is a line contact, which i... 
cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra
Steve,I second what John sid about the Review, and I am totally alligned with your review. I have tried the benz Ruby 3 but that is about it. I Love the Helikon Mono and the Skala Stereo. I do not have the VPI Turn. But I do have the Graham Phatom... 
Cartridge for Graham 1.5
I dont know about the Graham 1.5 but I do have the graham Phantom, I used the Benz Micro Ruby 3 with it, but have switched to the Lyra Helikon mono and Lyra Skala Stereo. I am impressed with the difference, I have had these carts for about 2 month... 
Cartridge for Graham 1.5
I would suggest the Lyra Helikon or if you can secure a used lyra cart that is not working, you can get the Skala for 2300 or so but that is with a cart in return. You can probably ask your local lyra dealer to see if they have any old Lyra lying ... 
Lyra Titan scarcity
Titan is a good one, If you want almost the same results for a lesser price, I would recommend the Skala. Its not on Lyras website yet. It is a Phenominal piece of equipment. Its about $ 1500 less than the Titan. As mentioned earlier its not that ... 
Record Cleaners / RCMs
I Would suggest that you also look into the Disk Doctors Cleaning Fluids, they are manual as well as can be used with machinces. I personally use multiple processes to help clean the records, as I do have very old records most of them came from th... 
cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra
Well in that case try the Ortofon Kontrapunkt B Cartridge, its sweet for the price you can probably find one for about $ 1000. 
cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra
How about for your next upgrade Try the Lyra Skala out. Its an exceptional Catr. I just moved from Benz to Lyra and am very happy with it. Will not go back to benz any more. 
Any cartridges like Shure, but more exciting?
depends on your budget,Lyra makes wonderful cartridges.
