i would very much value the findings of anyone that’s tried either of these, especially in the context of a fully loaded LP12
Im not in the market for a new cart for 2or 3 years but it just so happens that many years ago while I was using the Akiva I did toy with the idea of getting the Lyra Titan and obviously so did Linn !
So there is a possibility of at least the Etna being re-badged

I listened to the Etna SL but bought the Kleos SL and have been very happy with it through the Superline. The Etna SL is a bigger financial commitment than I was willing to make. I use a Moerch DP6 with a 12" red dot wand and the Etna and Atlas would have required a second heavier blue dot wand. It all adds up and I did the Kleos SL in a straight swap onto the red dot wand (plus many American dollars) for my old Helikon.
I hope you have seen this comparative review in Stereophile. They make the Etna SL seem like a real bargain. https://www.stereophile.com/co...-sl-phono-cartridges
Kuma may have more to offer.
