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 6554551009 ends on 15.11.2026 at 07:55 o'clock.
Versus the usual “one step up” cartridge or tonearm spend at this level, €8,800 lands right on the money for this market: it sits just above the €8,723 25th percentile and essentially at the €8,814 median, so this reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain or a stretch. For a Lyra ETNA, that is sensible pricing in today’s used landscape.
The appeal here is straightforward: Lyra’s ETNA is respected for speed, tracking, microdetail, and clean separation, so a well-kept example can be a serious value if the stylus and suspension are healthy. At this price, the key upside is simply getting into a reference-grade moving-coil without paying new-retail money; just confirm hours used, cantilever/stylus condition, and whether any mounting hardware or packaging is included.
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.
