Why asymmetric? By literally misplacing the “barriers” to great sound that are present in every other cartridge today, a number of important performance benefits are realized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, different-shaped structures on the left and right sides of the cartridge body suppress the formation of standing waves within, resulting in a significant reduction of resonance-induced colorations. Second, the asymmetric construction offsets the front magnet carrier and its associated mounting system so that it is no longer in line with the cantilever assembly. This opens up a direct, solid path between the cantilever assembly and tonearm headshell so that vibrations from the cantilever can be quickly drained away once they have been converted into electrical signals, again suppressing induced resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever assembly directly into the cartridge body thereby achieving a seamless, totally rigid connection between the cantilever assembly and headshell. The effectiveness of this system has been enhanced as a result of the asymmetrical structure of the Atlas λ Lambda. Control over spurious resonances is further assisted by the use of a narrowed mounting area, which couples the Atlas λ more tightly to the headshell and facilitates the transfer of vibrational energy into the tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlas λ Lambda retains the yokeless dual magnet system, diamond-coated boron rod cantilever and variable-radius line-contact stylus of the prior Atlas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlas λ Lambda uses\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLyra’s “New Angle” technology, which mechanically pre-biases the signal coils so that they are perfectly aligned to the front and rear magnets when LP playback takes place.

Lambda SL phono cartridge. Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna λ Lambda SL the cartridge is an impressive monument in its own right, one that melds tried and true Lyra design tenets with designer Jonathan Carr’s very latest thinking on phono cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda SL was designed with a strong emphasis on engineering efficiency, so that its performance would be as far beyond the sum of its parts as possible. For this reason, although it shares some of its design philosophy with Atlas λ Lambda SL, the concepts are executed rather differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda SL employs a solid titanium core structure machined with non-parallel surfaces to inhibit internal reflections whenever possible, but unlike Atlas (and Titan i before it), this is mated to a slightly undersized, asymmetric, mirror-black anodized duralumin outer body that locks over the core like a very tightly-fitting jigsaw puzzle. The core and body are augmented with bronze and stainless-steel resonance control rods, then pressure-fit together into a pre-stressed, solid, void-free structure which is comprised of multiple materials and complex internal shapes. The constrained-layer nature of this construction dramatically reduces the resonant signature of each material and creates a far more neutral-sounding body structure than otherwise possible, while the high body stiffness benefits transients, dynamics and resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda SL uses a yokeless dual magnet system, diamond-coated boron rod cantilever and Lyra-designed variable-radius line-contact stylus. Lyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever directly into the cartridge body to create a rigid, seamless connection between the cantilever assembly and tonearm headshell. Why? Linear transducers such as phono cartridges are inherently inefficient devices, on the order of 5-10%. In other words, of the vibrational energy that enters a cartridge from the LP groove, only 5-10% will be converted into electrical signal. The cartridge’s internal damping system will dissipate some of the remaining 90 to 95%, but much of the excess vibrational energy will reflect inside the cartridge, creating internal echoes and a general diminishing of fidelity. It is quite easy to hear this with many cartridges- play a highly modulated LP with the power amp turned off, and bring your ear close to the cartridge. The “needle talk” that you hear is excess vibrational energy which isn’t being controlled properly. Etna λ Lambda SL’s direct-mounted cantilever helps conduct this excess vibrational energy into the headshell, where it is safely dissipated within the greater mass of the tonearm and turntable plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda SL utilizes the asymmetric design concept first seen in the flagship Atlas, but moves the screw\/screwhole all the way to the front of the cartridge and interposes a bronze damping barrier between it and the mechanical path linking the cantilever assembly to the tonearm headshell. Freed of all obstructions and voids, the rigid, direct path established between cantilever and headshell is highly effective at draining away vibrations once they have been converted into electrical signals, effectively suppressing induced resonances and internal reflections that would otherwise manifest as sonic colorations. A narrowed mounting area couples Etna λ Lambda SL more tightly to the headshell and facilitates the transfer of vibrational energy into the tonearm, giving even better control over spurious resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother design strength is Etna λ Lambda SL high-efficiency X-shaped signal coils, another attribute it shares with the flagship Atlas. Compared to traditional square coil formers the X-shape allows each channel to operate with greater independence from one another, giving better tracking, tighter channel matching, improved separation, and lower crosstalk-induced distortion. Although there are and have been other X-coil cartridges, their benefits have been accompanied by poor efficiency (in converting mechanical work into electrical output), either requiring high internal impedance (the larger coils add considerable moving mass and increase noise) and\/or having low output voltage (which stresses the phono stage).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome this weakness, Lyra conducted a careful investigation of X-core coils, using a combination of mathematical analysis and hands-on experimentation. The outcome of the analysis program was a very specific X-core shape and dimensions that not only had higher efficiency than any previous X-core cartridge, but also surpassed the efficiency of Lyra’s earlier square-coil cartridge designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyra’s New Angle technology\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emechanically pre-biases the signal coils so they are perfectly aligned to the front and rear magnets during LP playback, which allows the coils to move optimally in all directions for superior, distortion-free playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seldom-mentioned yet key factor in defining the performance and sound of a phono cartridge is the suspension and damper system. A cantilever’s materials, dimensions and constructions all affect the sound in unique ways, and unless the dampers and suspension are engineered to be a suitable match to the cantilever chosen, the sound and performance will not be optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Lyra’s post-2008 New Angle models (Delos, Kleos, Etna, Atlas) we developed tapered dampers to pre-load the cantilever downwards when it is in the rest position, so that the application of vertical tracking force (VTF) will bring the coil angle into alignment with the magnets when the cartridge is in the playing position. Our continued research into dampers and suspension systems has now led to the next level up – Lambda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLambda separates the tapered dampers of the New Angle cartridges into flat elastomer discs (for damping) and an additional support “pillow” to serve as the cantilever pre-loading element.

Likewise for the Atlas Mono and Etna Mono models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Etna λ Lambda SL is second from the top in Lyra’s line, one listen will demonstrate that this cartridge’s performance would define the very top of any other cartridge line.

the Etna λ Lambda phono cartridge. Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna λ Lambda the cartridge is an impressive monument in its own right, one that melds tried and true Lyra design tenets with designer Jonathan Carr’s very latest thinking on phono cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda was designed with a strong emphasis on engineering efficiency, so that its performance would be as far beyond the sum of its parts as possible. For this reason, although it shares some of its design philosophy with Atlas λ Lambda, the concepts are executed rather differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda employs a solid titanium core structure machined with non-parallel surfaces to inhibit internal reflections whenever possible, but unlike Atlas (and Titan i before it), this is mated to a slightly undersized, asymmetric, mirror-black anodized duralumin outer body that locks over the core like a very tightly-fitting jigsaw puzzle. The core and body are augmented with bronze and stainless-steel resonance control rods, then pressure-fit together into a pre-stressed, solid, void-free structure which is comprised of multiple materials and complex internal shapes. The constrained-layer nature of this construction dramatically reduces the resonant signature of each material and creates a far more neutral-sounding body structure than otherwise possible, while the high body stiffness benefits transients, dynamics and resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda uses a yokeless dual magnet system, diamond-coated boron rod cantilever and Lyra-designed variable-radius line-contact stylus. Lyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever directly into the cartridge body to create a rigid, seamless connection between the cantilever assembly and tonearm headshell. Why? Linear transducers such as phono cartridges are inherently inefficient devices, on the order of 5 -10%. In other words, of the vibrational energy that enters a cartridge from the LP groove, only 5-10% will be converted into electrical signal. The cartridge’s internal damping system will dissipate some of the remaining 90 to 95%, but much of the excess vibrational energy will reflect inside the cartridge, creating internal echoes and a general diminishing of fidelity. It is quite easy to hear this with many cartridges- play a highly modulated LP with the power amp turned off, and bring your ear close to the cartridge. The “needle talk” that you hear is excess vibrational energy which isn’t being controlled properly. Etna λ Lambda’s direct-mounted cantilever helps conduct this excess vibrational energy into the headshell, where it is safely dissipated within the greater mass of the tonearm and turntable plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna λ Lambda utilizes the asymmetric design concept first seen in the flagship Atlas, but moves the screw\/screwhole all the way to the front of the cartridge and interposes a bronze damping barrier between it and the mechanical path linking the cantilever assembly to the tonearm headshell. Freed of all obstructions and voids, the rigid, direct path established between cantilever and headshell is highly effective at draining away vibrations once they have been converted into electrical signals, effectively suppressing induced resonances and internal reflections that would otherwise manifest as sonic colorations. A narrowed mounting area couples Etna λ Lambda more tightly to the headshell and facilitates the transfer of vibrational energy into the tonearm, giving even better control over spurious resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother design strength is Etna λ Lambda high-efficiency X-shaped signal coils, another attribute it shares with the flagship Atlas. Compared to traditional square coil formers the X-shape allows each channel to operate with greater independence from one another, giving better tracking, tighter channel matching, improved separation, and lower crosstalk-induced distortion. Although there are and have been other X-coil cartridges, their benefits have been accompanied by poor efficiency (in converting mechanical work into electrical output), either requiring high internal impedance (the larger coils add considerable moving mass and increase noise) and\/or having low output voltage (which stresses the phono stage).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome this weakness, Lyra conducted a careful investigation of X-core coils, using a combination of mathematical analysis and hands-on experimentation. The outcome of the analysis program was a very specific X-core shape and dimensions that not only had higher efficiency than any previous X-core cartridge, but also surpassed the efficiency of Lyra’s earlier square-coil cartridge designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyra’s New Angle technology\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emechanically pre-biases the signal coils so they are perfectly aligned to the front and rear magnets during LP playback, which allows the coils to move optimally in all directions for superior, distortion-free playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seldom-mentioned yet key factor in defining the performance and sound of a phono cartridge is the suspension and damper system. A cantilever’s materials, dimensions and constructions all affect the sound in unique ways, and unless the dampers and suspension are engineered to be a suitable match to the cantilever chosen, the sound and performance will not be optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Lyra’s post-2008 New Angle models (Delos, Kleos, Etna, Atlas) we developed tapered dampers to pre-load the cantilever downwards when it is in the rest position, so that the application of vertical tracking force (VTF) will bring the coil angle into alignment with the magnets when the cartridge is in the playing position.

Atlas has a very refined, elegant and voluptuous sound while Etna λ Lambda personality is more outgoing. We truly believe that choosing between these two exceptional performers will come down to one’s tastes and the system in which it will live.

with an MC cartridge can sound exceptionally good, it is a surprising fact that the design of conventional MCs restricts the sound quality that can be achieved from LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential factor for proper operation of an MC cartridge is the angle between the magnetic circuit, signal coils and core. Performance is optimal when the angles are all aligned, but any significant difference in the angles will cause the formation of a strong and directional flux that will flow constantly from the magnetic circuit into the signal core. This directional magnetic flux will orient the core toward a specific direction and make it impossible for the core to move with equal ease in all directions, which is necessary for proper cartridge performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, conventional MC cartridges have been designed so that the angles between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core become aligned only when tracking force is not applied. The result is that during playback, the required tracking force causes the angle between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core to become misaligned. This limits the cartridge’s resolution, tracking ability and dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Lyra Delos is designed to conquer this problem. Compared to conventional cartridges, the Delos has a new body structure with an unusually shallow angle, and this has been paired with a unique asymmetrical damping system. When no tracking force is applied, the shape of the asymmetrical dampers forces the signal coils and core into a more upright angle than the magnetic circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, no tracking force applied means that the cartridge is not operating, and therefore any angular discrepancies between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core will have no effect on performance. When tracking force is applied, however, the force of the stylus pushing on the LP causes the asymmetrical dampers to be deformed into a symmetrical shape, and when this happens the angular discrepancies between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core all disappear. Since tracking force applied means that the cartridge is now operating, it should be clear that the design of the Delos is able to keep the angles between the magnetic circuit, signal coils and core aligned during playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping the proper angular alignment prevents the formation of any strong and directional flux that could otherwise flow constantly from the magnetic circuit into the signal core, and enables the Delos’ core to move with equal ease in all directions, for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delos also has a microridge stylus on a boron cantilever for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid machined metal body for low resonances, and 6-N high-purity copper coils and nude construction for greater clarity. The result is clearly improved sound quality, particularly resolution, tracking ability, dynamic range, transient impact and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeel free to audition the Lyra Delos, and hear how good a New Angle can make your LPs sound.\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-w-sm short-product-info mb-2xl\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifikationer:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJonathan Carr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilder:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYoshinori Mishima (final build, testing), Akiko Ishiyama (primary build)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMedium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance moving coil cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNamiki microridge line-contact nude diamond stylus (2.5um x 75um), surface-mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever system:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolid boron rod with short one-point wire suspension, directly mounted into cartridge body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAnodized aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3-layer deep, 6N high-purity copper, square-shaped permalloy former, 6.3ohm self-impedance, 9.5uH inductance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.6mV@5cm\/sec., zero to peak, 45 degrees (CBS test record, other test records may alter results)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10Hz ~ 50kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGreater than 30dB at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 12 x 10cm\/dyne at 100Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge mounting screws:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2.6mm 0.45 pitch JIS standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from mounting holes to stylus tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge weight (without stylus cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7.3g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracking force:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.65g – 1.75g (1.72g recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load directly into MC phono input:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e97.6ohm ~ 806ohm (detailed guidelines in instruction manual, finalize by listening)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load via step-up transformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUse a step-up transformer designed for 5 – 10 ohms cartridge impedance (step-up transformer’s output must be connected to 10kohm ~ 47kohm MM-level RIAA input, preferably via short, low-capacitance cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended tonearms:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMedium to Medium-High mass arms recommended, which is bulk of tonearm market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lyra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53159543832912,"sku":null,"price":21990.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0087\/1979\/4256\/files\/Lyra-Delos-scaled.png?v=1781784329"},{"product_id":"lyra-kleos","title":"Lyra Kleos","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"max-w-sm short-product-info mb-2xl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-w-sm short-product-info mb-2xl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-w-sm short-product-info mb-2xl\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"my-3\"\u003eLyra Kleos \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kleos is the lowest cost Lyra cartridge to feature the full fledged Ogura manufactured boron cantilever and coil system with Lyra original line-contact (3 x 70μm) stylus.
