In a prior post I mentioned an article in Stereophile by Mike Fremer. The article that I mentioned seems to have some inconsistencies in its reporting and I have been made aware of the problems in the report.

At this point in time the inconsistent stylus SRA issue in Lyra cartridges appears to be unproven and needs some further investigation. According to the information I have received, Lyra uses the same supplier of stylus/cantilever assemblies that Denon uses (Ogura Jewel) and the problem has not been reported in Denon models.

Since I posted something about this issue, I wanted to post an update about the reporting problem so a prospective buyer would not be unfairly put off by the Lyra brand.
