Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in Norway!
JMTCW FWIW. (More than 30 years enjoying analogue playback!)
My current analogue setup - Roksan Radius 5 with Nima tonearm, Lyra Argo, custom tonearm connecting cable, modified JLTI phono stage. Modest outlay - great bang for the buck. (Why not spend more on LPs?)
My audio network hold Lyra in great esteem, across the board, over many years. One local audiophile owns both Skala and Helikon. Certainly the Skala is superb. But so is my Lyra Argo......the Lyra sonic character is more yang than yin (e.g., opposite of Koetsu which tends to ultra yin.)
Please note precise/meticulous cartridge setup is essential. Premium cabling is mandatory (after all, we are dealing with very low signal levels!).
There is always much (heated) opinion in analogue. Above all, trust your own ears. Enjoy the music!
