No one else posted this, so I'll take one for the Team by mentioning Fremer's May 2012 Analog Corner article in Stereophile.  Apparently, Fremer has gotten at least two high-dollar Lyra cartridges with indifferent stylus-to-cantilever mounting.  I commend Fremer for mentioning this instead of working with Lyra to cover it up.  Obviously, MF is inclined to see, hear, think and report the best of a major Patron, so God only knows what else might be wrong any of these cartridges. Let this be ANOTHER LESSON to those with their own eyes, ears and brains.

Once again, top flight phono cartridges are not something that can be whipped up just anywhere, by anyone inclined to do it.  And, once again, there is no uniform, direct correlation between quality and price.
