Offered is „ETNA LAMBDA SL NEU MC System Referenz Moving Coil OVP Fachhandel“ by Lyra as new device from the category „Pick-up MC“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2685506740 ends on 17.10.2026 at 08:47 o'clock.
At €8,800, this is a touch above the typical used market, so I’d call it fair-to-slightly ambitious rather than a bargain.
The key point is that your own comps put the median at €8,716, with the 25th percentile at €8,636 and the 75th at €8,775, so this ask sits just over the top of the recent range. That said, the ETNA is a top-tier Lyra for a reason: superb transparency, speed, and tonal color, with the kind of resolution and tracking that can make a very revealing analog front end feel complete. If the listing is truly clean, well cared for, and includes the original packaging or service history, it remains a serious buy for someone who wants a reference-level cartridge and is comfortable paying near-new money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lyra Analog emerged from a visionary collaboration among three audio pioneers: American designer Jonathan Carr, Japanese master-craftsman Yoshinori Mishima, and Norwegian business leader Stig Bjørge. Founded in Japan, the brand embodies a commitment to original engineering and artisanal precision, with all products hand-built from the ground up under meticulous supervision. This heritage reflects Japan's revered tradition of craftsmanship, prioritizing long-lasting transducers that push analog playback boundaries.
The brand specializes exclusively in high-end phono cartridges, such as the acclaimed Delos, Kleos, Atlas, and SPT models. These moving-coil designs extract unparalleled texture, transparency, and dynamic contrast from vinyl records, delivering immersive emotional depth. Lyra avoids broader categories like amplifiers, speakers, or headphones, focusing instead on transducers that redefine analog fidelity through innovative materials and construction.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Lyra commands reverence among audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts for its industry-leading advances and limited availability. Crafted to be among the finest in their class, these cartridges appeal to discerning collectors seeking maximum revelation from analog sources, blending cutting-edge design with Japanese build quality that ensures enduring performance.
