Both great choices....non better in my opinion. To THESE ears, the Atlas is perfect in everything...the Etna a weeee bit less. But a bit more musical for me. Your arm and table are perfect for either. Remember Heifitz always played one note wrong (or slightly out of tune) because he said only God is perfect.
Etna or Atlas for Superscout?
Currently have a Kleos with my vpi superscout and 3D tonearm.
Great bass but looking for more detail and transparency in the midrange.
Is Atlas too much for this turntable? Heard it on a top of the line vpi turntable and was blown away by it.
Or with the superscout am I reaching a point of diminishing returns and be better off spending less money and using the Etna? Looks like Lyra cartridges might have gone up recently in price.
I thought a little while ago the Atlas was closer to 10K and now it seems closer to 12K.
Other cartridge brand suggestions would also be appreciated.
Thanks.
