Lyra Etna

The problem is that all Lyras are built by one person Mishima. An Atlas takes 2x the time to build as any other Lyra cartridge. Factor in the unexpected demand for Atlas' and you start to get the picture :)

im sure your right about that. ive never bought a $7k or more cartridge. so i have no idea and they probably just build them for the person once they are ordered. in that case i can definitely see it taking a long time. but if kleos' are taking 12 weeks i couldnt even imagine how long an atlas or etna would take. god like 6-8 months? i dont have that kind of patients.lol

It's tough to have the patience needed when you buy any piece of gear let alone waiting a few months for a cartridge. I imagine that most people buying a cart of this magnitude would have a couple others that they can use while the wait goes on. Not saying it makes it any easier though...
 
It took about 12 weeks for my Kleos to come in. I thought it was worth the wait. I played CD's during that period of time. I have many CD's not available on vinyl. Now that my analog rig is up and running, after a down time, I appreciate it even more.

Ha ha....absence makes the heart grow fonder! :)
 
Hi all,

I am the very happy user of an Etna which replaced an Argo i.
It is absolutely another world!
Everything seems easy for this cartridge. no stress , no harshness, no sibilances, and an amount of energy which explains it was named after a volcano!
The sound of acoustic instruments is so real (in case of good recording..) that I feel I never got so close to live music.
Every evening, it is very difficult to switch off the TT...

Best regards,

nice on the etna !!! and welcome to the shark!!!
 
Hi Bill,

So did I,
I posted on Linn forum about the choice between Skala and Kandid and someone talked about the Etna...
With the Urika there is an absolute perfect fit.
This cart is simply amazing and is a match made in heaven with the Ekos SE.

With your Shindo's it will sing like nothing else!

Best regards
 
I also have Etna on order for about 6 weeks now. They told me I should have it in 6 weeks from now. I also ordered a Dynavector XV-1S at the same time which I have not received yet, so I guess delays are relatively long for these kinds of cartridges.

jlv, I received the Etna about three weeks ago. It is such a big change from the 20X2L, I'm floored. I had no idea. I put in on a new AMG, but kept the LP12 which I need to find a cartridge for. I'm thinking EMT for something different than the Lyra if it works in the Ekos SE.
 
Hi Bill,

Good to hear from you!
We are living horrible moments in France right now.

The Etna is a match made in heaven with the Ekos SE (and the Urika BTW too)
I heard the EMT fews days ago in Paris on a Big Brinkman. Sounded good but not as pure as the Etna on an Ekos SE (my 2 cents..)
I am taking some rest from the news, listening to the double 45RPM limited edition "Ben Webster at the Renaissance"
Jaw dropping!!
The big upgrades on my system were the Nagras and the Living Voice.
One of the best listening session took place in Paris many years ago (Alain Choukroun ) with Shindo's modified Verdier TT and full Shindo electronics (I think Montbrison and Giscours?)
Enjoy!!

Best regards,
