What cartridges would best sound an Ekos arm?

I recently sold my Troika and bought a Lyra Delos and then traded up to the Kleos. Both sounded better than the Troika, which in it's day was considered a great Linn cart for the LP12, and it was. But the new generation Lyra's have a much more delicate, natural, precise without being over analytical approach. The Lyra's musicality has added to my listening hours, I would highly recommend you looking at either. The Delos does a wonderful job but the Kleos takes it to the next two levels. I am using the same arm along with trampolin, cirkus, new motor with Lingo, and recently set up by the dealer. Phone stage is the Linto for your comparison. I listen to more rock than jazz but I can tell Radio K.A.O.S. and Battle of Evermore take on whole new life!

Sprog, my comments were directed at Marcussantiago in answer to his question and not at your response. He was asking for opinions on what cartridges would be recommended. I responded with my experience, which is one mans opinion, that I wanted to share with him. It was only a suggestion to him, and was not directed at your contribution. So I appologize for any misinterpretation that my comments were directed at you.

TO:Marcussantiago, I only suggest that you take a look at the Lyra products as they are pleasing to my ears and work well with my system, I updated my cartridge as my Troika was in great shape and very sellable. I did not sell it because it was inferior in any way, however I (personal opinion)felt it was of an older design and the new Lyras presented a new application of new technology. Take a look at thir website and read what they have done, also Fremer wrote a pretty good review of the Delos a few months back in Stereophile. the tough part about getting a new cartridge is especially on an Linn is that it is no easy to change them in and out for demos. I always remove my arm to change it per my dealers strong insistance to prevent bearing damage. I adhere to this because I can't afford to find out if he is right or wrong by ruining a great arm.

Final Note: All other suggestions here are valid and good mine is just in addition to those stated, I am not familiar with them and may come to find out I might have researched my purchase further, that's what I like about AudioGon is the contined learning about this passion we have for music reproduction.
