Can't speak to the Ortofon or Lyra, but I've heard the Dyna and want one - badly!!, posted on October 30, 2014 at 05:28:24

I'd go for the Dyna..., posted on October 30, 2014 at 13:35:57

Having heard and put Lyra, Ortofon, and Dyna carts on various Rega turntables over the years, I think the character of the Dyna compliments theRega tables sound character best (not saying this becuase I'm a Dyna dealer either). I have not heard a Lrya Kelos yet, but based on experience with other Delos carts, that would be a close second on the P10.

Ultimately the choice depends not only on the turntable, the sound of the phono preamp that will be used as well personal preference (for example I'm not much of a resolution nut, so I like cats which tend to be a bit more sweet/musical in character, especially when considering a table like the RP10 is pretty fleet, quick, and dynamic performer).

Congrats on getting the RP10... Just moved a customers Benz Ruby onto one about a month ago... Now that was a nice combination to my ears!

Happy Listening,
