I had a Lyra Argo(i) which I enjoyed for quite a while. It tended to be a bit analytical in places but very good. But now I have stepped up to the Lyra Etna Lambda which I find to be terrific. Lots of detail but very musical. I think Lyra has reached a point of great imaging, wonderful bass, and close to dead neutral. I remain impressed by them.
I’ve owned mine for close to 2 years. It was professionally installed. I’ve found it to be amazing in S/Q and I can’t fault it. I would give it a chance and make your own mind up. The audiophile community can be love it or hate it and no middle ground.
Ok..little bro.......now you just being suspenseful and messing with us...you know we want your initial thoughts after a thread like this!
Ah....little brother's cool....he'll get it right...trust me. Got a good recommend for a good blues album?
Whats a good one by them?....I'll put in on my list for this Friday when I order. I've been spinning Erroll Garner for a while today...lots of cats aint ready for his genius.
Ok...its on the list for Friday.....Garners a required taste.....most of his stuff on wax is bad recordings from back then...dont know why. If you want wax, the best one to get is Night Concert. Dude couldn't read music, but played by ear....He's the one that composed Misty. Had to sit on 2 telephone books while playing piano....Dude is a genus. He was once asked why he never learned to read music?, His reply......"No one can hear you read music". He could hear a tune on the spot, and on the spot play it back to you. He was a genius.
yes, to the "untrained" eye ! the line is below the surface of the glass so it looks off but when you see it from the side or top it is good....
Naw, I was dead serious.......when I blew it up on computer it looked off. But lil brother is in control.
The Lyra's do need about 60 hours to break in. Something to remember when giving first impressions. OP, how do you change azimuth with that tonearm/headshell? A photo would be great.
