Which Lyra Helicon?


I'm getting into vinyl in a big way, just purchased extended Aries w/JMW 12.5 tonearm.... now, I need a cartridge and phono pre-amp.

I've pretty much decided on a Lyra Helikon, but unsure about whether to get the .4mv or the super low output one (2.3mv?)

What should I do?

For now, budget says Grado Phono pre-amp.... or? suggestions?

Thanks, in advance.

Every low output MC is better than it's higher ' brother '.
Here it is the same.

But when you don't have a real good phono stage, I think, you will have more satisfaction with the high output Helikon.
Lyra systems are recommended with a MC 47K load, the next step for a phono section.

These systems are designed for serious users.
