Lyra

Jonathan Carr of Lyra has guts. He is a master designer. He does a great job designing new cartridges, is not afraid of innovating, and is willing to take risks. When he succeeds and produces a better design, he replaces the older models, rather than adding to the line-up. Through years of experimentation and development, Jonathan has produced better and more affordable cartridges. Case in point: Lyra Delos, introduced in 2010.

LYRA products are characterized by advanced design & engineering allied with Japanese artisanal craftsmanship and build quality. All lyra products are developed and crafted to be among the very finest available in their category.

Every detail of each LYRA product is thought through and executed with extreme care. LYRA is one of the few audio companies with truly original design & development capability. Each new product is designed from the ground and up and introduces meaningful industry-leading advances.
SORAsound represents lyra phono cartridges now.

Lyra makes the following moving coil stereo phono cartridges as well as three mono cartridges:

• Olympos ($10,890)
• Titan mono ($6,340)

Lyra also provides a generous upgrade and retipping policy. we are planning to have two on demo, a Lyra sKala, and a lyra titan. come to think of it, i really want to try the dorian mono. a real mono cartridge.

Hartmut Janssen of AMAZON AUDIO now truly loves me. For years he told me I should represent Lyra cartridges. But i had put all my eggs in one basket.
