Decided to take a punt on an alternative cartridge to save the wear on my Lyra Clavis (re-tipped).
Saw this Dynavector Karat Ruby on Lenco Heaven for sale, so thinking 'you can't take it with you' I splashed the cash and it arrived today.
I am using a standard Goldring Lenco GL75 with heavy plinth, I had a spare headshell so got it mounted and set for 1.5 gram tracking.

It has a very short synthetic ruby cantilever. Initially I couldn't get the rear of the arm low enough to make the tonearm parallel so had to make a 4mm spacer for the cartridge.
Now fitted it is a very detailed presentation. If anything it sounds a bit brighter than the Lyra, but not 'in your face'. Really enjoying the direct and open sound this is giving.
