Mike Fremer had an issue with the top of the line (IIRC) Lyra cartridge. I believe that there was an issue with stylus/cartridge generator alignment and it caused some problems. I apologize if I get this wrong but I distinctly remember Mike's problem with a cartridge with an asking price around $5000.

I have never had a problem with a Denon cartridge but that's not exactly some sort of conclusive proof. They have sold a lot of cartridges and they are non-fussy with no IGD or tracking issues. That same claim cannot be made for a lot of cartridges that sell for a lot more money.

All of their cartridges out perform their asking price. What else can a consumer ask for?
