Thanks very much for your answers. The comparison between the Skala and my Nightingale should prove to be most interesting.
Lyra Skala - Suitable for JMW Memorial Arms
I have a VPI Aries with JMW Memorial 10.5 arm (soon to be upgraded to a 10.5i). I have just ordered one of the new Lyra Skalas, which should arrive in 2-3 weeks. On paper, at least, the Skala should be very similar to the Helikon in terms of resonance characteristics. Can anyone share their JMW/Helikon experiences? In particular, was tracking at the recommended force satisfactory?
