Congratulations Joey, to the Opus-1! Great choice! I have the Opus-1 myself and is very satisfied with it. I have tried several Lyras in my system, and some of them didn’t sound right here, due to (at first) lack of know-how during setup. However, after some crazy nerdy study - the latter ones I’ve had here have been sounding really really good. So I’m definitely planning for an Atlas in the future !It's been 6 months since I've had the Opus installed on my second table.
And I can say, it's been a joy having 2 carts. I would say the Lyra Etna definitely sounds different compared to the Opus. The Opus was a great choice for a 2nd vinyl option.
Thank you all!
Enjoy the music, Joey !
