Great purchase!

You got quite a bargain, particularly if the cartridge has low mileage. I had the Helikon (I now run a Titan) and the stylus has quite a long life. My friend has the cartridge now, and it must have at least 2,000 hours on it and it sounds quite good.

The only change I would suggest is the Shure stylus pressure guage. If you do plan to fiddle with tracking force you need something much more accurate than that POS. The recommended tracking force in the Lyra instructions specifies a very narrow range, something like 1.65 to 1.75. I have found the Shure guage to be off as much as .3 grams.
