Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna’s center structure is solid titanium, but unlike the renowned flagship Atlas (and the Titan i before it) this central core is surrounded by an outer body that is machined from highly-polished aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized with a sexy black finish. The two pieces are press-fitted with resonance control rods and stainless steel screw bushings in a multi-material approach that is similar to the Skala’s two-piece “blade structure” construction, but much improved in its rigidity and damping characteristics. The advantage of such constrained-layer construction is that no single material’s sonic signature defines the sound of the cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna’s asymmetric design employs an offset yoke, a design concept first brought to fruition in the flagship Atlas. By offsetting the front magnet carrier so that it is not in line with the cantilever assembly, a direct path is established between the cantilever assembly and the tonearm’s headshell. Vibrations are quickly drained away once converted to electrical signals, effectively suppressing any induced resonances that would otherwise manifest as sonic coloration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever directly into the cartridge body, which results in a seamless, totally rigid connection between the cantilever assembly and headshell. The cantilever is diamond-coated boron, tipped with a slot-mounted nude line-contact diamond stylus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna retains the X-shaped coil formers first unveiled in the flagship Atlas. Compared to traditional square coil formers, the X-shape allows each channel to operate with greater autonomy from one another, increasing tracking consistency and channel matching while also improving channel separation due to the decrease in crosstalk. Lyra’s new angle technology 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the introduction of Etna, the Titan i model is discontinued and now limited to stock on hand. The Lyra line now comprises Delos, Kleos, Skala, Etna and Atlas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Etna 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. Atlas has a very refined, elegant and voluptuous sound while Etna’s 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. For many customers Etna will be ideal and become their preferred Lyra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance moving coil cartridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyra-designed long-footprint variable-radius line-contact nude diamond (3μm×70μm), slot-mounted\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond-coated solid boron rod with short one-point wire suspension, directly mounted into cartridge body via high-pressure knife-edge system\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined titanium central core, anodized aluminum\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-layer deep, 6 N high-purity copper, chemically-purified high-purity iron cross-shaped former, 4.2 Ohm self-impedance, 11μH inductance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.56 mV\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10 Hz - 50 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;30 dB at 1 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 12 x 10-6 cm\/dyne at 100 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Mounting Screws:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2.6 mm 0.45 pitch JIS standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Mounting Holes to Stylus Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.62 g - 1.72 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104 Ohm - 887 Ohm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9.2\u003c\/span\u003e g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21830300613,"sku":"ETNA LAMDA","price":10495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/lyretnal__44434.1590725617.png?v=1741632661"},{"product_id":"lyra-delos-mc-cartridge","title":"Lyra Delos Moving Coil Cartridge","description":"\u003ch1\u003eLyra Delos Moving Coil Cartridge\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn analog LP played back with an MC cartridge can sound exceptionally good.

However, sometimes what is required is not more cost but more clever engineering, as with the Lyra Delos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major problem with most cartridges is that the signal coils are located so that applying normal tracking force restricts performance. The reason is that the cartridge's signal coils should have the same angle as the magnetic circuit when the tracking force for playback is applied, but are nearly always designed so that applying normal tracking force pushes the signal coils out of alignment with the magnetic circuit. This impairs the sensitivity and linearity of the coils, and reduces the quality of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delos solves this problem with a new body structure and pre-angled damping system. The pre-angled dampers work together with the angle of the body structure so that, when tracking force is applied, the signal coils are optimally aligned with the magnet circuit. The Delos also has a microridge stylus for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid metal body for low resonances, and nude construction for greater clarity.

Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna’s center structure is solid titanium, but unlike the renowned flagship Atlas (and the Titan i before it) this central core is surrounded by an outer body that is machined from highly-polished aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized with a sexy black finish. The two pieces are press-fitted with resonance control rods and stainless steel screw bushings in a multi-material approach that is similar to the Skala’s two-piece “blade structure” construction, but much improved in its rigidity and damping characteristics. The advantage of such constrained-layer construction is that no single material’s sonic signature defines the sound of the cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna’s asymmetric design employs an offset yoke, a design concept first brought to fruition in the flagship Atlas. By offsetting the front magnet carrier so that it is not in line with the cantilever assembly, a direct path is established between the cantilever assembly and the tonearm’s headshell. Vibrations are quickly drained away once converted to electrical signals, effectively suppressing any induced resonances that would otherwise manifest as sonic coloration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever directly into the cartridge body, which results in a seamless, totally rigid connection between the cantilever assembly and headshell. The cantilever is diamond-coated boron, tipped with a slot-mounted nude line-contact diamond stylus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna retains the X-shaped coil formers first unveiled in the flagship Atlas. Compared to traditional square coil formers, the X-shape allows each channel to operate with greater autonomy from one another, increasing tracking consistency and channel matching while also improving channel separation due to the decrease in crosstalk. Lyra’s new angle technology 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the introduction of Etna, the Titan i model is discontinued and now limited to stock on hand. The Lyra line now comprises Delos, Kleos, Skala, Etna and Atlas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Etna 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. Atlas has a very refined, elegant and voluptuous sound while Etna’s 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.
