Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.

VPI owners.......
@Frogman Did you need to send the table back or just the platter and bearing? (Just curious) 
Similar sounding of Lyra cartridge ?
It's very hard to make that call not knowing which Lyra cartridge you are describing. The Lyra Clavis da Capo was a bright and a bit thin sounding cartridge, nothing like the cartridges described above. Other Lyra carts of that general vintage are...

Why not just try it and report back the results? 
Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions
The OC-9ML/II is a very good cartridge. It will work just fine in your arm (it is generally forgiving of arm mass). You can always add more mass to your arm if you think it would improve performance. If you can pop for a Herron phono stage, even a...
