Time for an update. Logged close to 30+ hrs on my new toys.
Mounted the Atlas on the Kairos . Clearly, I am getting superior results with the Atlas on the Kairos compared to the Atlas on the Talea2. In my system and to my ears, the Kairos is a superior arm. More detail, pitch definition and tighter bass.
IMHO, the real hero is not the Kairos or the A95. It's the Lyra Erodion EVO SUT or MC interface as Lyra prefers to call it. On its own the A95 is a great cart but through the Erodion the results are pretty amazing. As the Atlas has a higher output (0.47mV) compared to the A95(0.2mV), the Atlas is plugged into the MC input of the Nagra phono and the A95 into the MM input via the Erodion with the loading set at 47k. Surprisingly, the results with the Atlas into the Erodion are not as good. I would have imagined there would be a natural synergy between two Lyra products. I suspect the Atlas SL or Etna SL may be a better match for the Erodion.
I may have a tough time deciding which cart to keep when the Etna returns.

Very interesting on the Erodion ...
