Features
The Lyra Helikon is the first cartridge of Scan-Tech's fourth-generation design architecture. [...] The Helikon's most notable advance is in the elimination of as much conductive material as possible from the vicinity of the generator and gap. [This design allows] a more useable output level [...] while maintaining the accurate reproduction of atmosphere, musical timbre and detail that has become the hallmark of all Lyra phono cartridges.
