Product Information

The Ultimate Reference Cartridge!' The Titan(i) is the most sophisticated cartridge Lyra has ever designed. The very first time you drop the stylus into the grooves, you know you are listening to something very special. The Titan i  is the perfect marriage of thunderous dynamics and pure delicacy; in one word: GLORIOUS! This cartridge portrays the essence of live music: true-to-life scale and perspective, tonal accuracy of real instruments, the most overall cohesive musical presentation possible. Michael Fremer called the Titan i 'the least mechanical sounding, most lyrical and liquid sounding cartridge he's ever heard from anyone at any price!' In HiFi+, Roy Gregory wrote that 'the Titan i is a genuine flagship product that towers over the rest, delivering unprecedented musicality and forgiving of all but the most extreme surface damage.'
