phono stage options for Lyra Cartridges

I second the EAR 834p. The Lyra's have a reputation for being analytical (in the best sense of the word), so a good tube preamp makes a good pairing.
I would say, however, that you are probably doing it backwards. Find a phono stage that you really like, and match the cartridge to it. My reasoning is that the phono stage will last far longer than a cartridge.

Just a thought.

i have been advised by some other dealers that the Solid state Tom Evans, groove or microgroove seems to work well w/ the lyra cartridges ???

Excellent results with a BAT VK-P10SE superpak and a Lyra Skala

Sdrenslow makes a good point here. I forgot. I used BAT phono stages for years a VK P5, P10, and P10SE.

They all match up very well with Lyra's. At the time I used a Lyra Lydian Beta or Lyra Helicon with the BATs.

I use Lyra Dorian/Goldmund TT and arm combination with a Sphinx phono-pre, which is fully adjustable to suit most cartridges. A good pairing to my ears, but the Sphinx (called Phono Equalizer) might be hard to find.
