Lyra Etna Mono Cartridge

Continuing Retirement sell-off of my system.

This is the ultimate monophonic cartridge available, in my opinion.
Music Direct seems to agree:
“Hands-down one of the most superb- and lifelike-sounding mono phono cartridges
ever made, the Lyra Etna Mono MC phono cartridge uses unique engineering to
remove resonance. Not reduce it. Remove it completely. Everything is upgraded in
the Japanese-made Etna Mono. Literally. Yes, it's a big step up in price from
most cartridges, but one that yields gains in transparency, the removal of distortion,
and remarkable accuracy. In short, the advanced design principles allow the focus
to be placed on the music buried in the grooves of your records. Etna Mono is
simply a work of art. A prestigious musical instrument. And an MC cartridge
deserving of the "ultimate" moniker.”
See their website, and the Lyra website, for more details.

I bought my Etna Mono from authorized Lyra dealer in L.A.. It has stayed on my shelf, unopened and uninstalled since it arrived. I had planned to add a second tonearm to my table for the Mono but Retirement has changed the picture and there will be no second arm. My cartridge, serial number EM005 as you can see from the pictures, is brand new and has never been played.
