Lyra Helikon SL Opinions?

I have a Well Tempered Table and arm and am wondering if this is a good match? I was thinking about a new table but my budget will not permit at the moment as I am also forced to get a pre-pre amp as well. I'm thinking Tom Evans for the pre-pre and a Lyra Helikon SL for the cartridge. Thanks in advance.

Taste is different, but my favourite Lyra Cartr. is the Skala.
It has the detail the Lyras are famous for AND a kind of musicality and holographic body which none of the others showed.

Thomas,
I'm curious, have you compared the Skala to the Titan i?
Is the 5th generation Skala better than the 4th generation Titan i?

Jmcgrogan2,
'better' is always difficult. Depends what is 'better' for you or for me (for example).
Everyone has own 'priorities'. I listened to the Titan i and I was impressed from the Detail, but from the Musical Illusion (--> the 'Being there') it is simply not my cup of Tea.
The Skala is in THIS Area the better one, no doubt (for me).
