About the Argo i
The Lyra Argo i replaces the Lydian Beta and is completely redesigned for improved sonic performance, trackability, and ease of setup. It features a proprietary Ogura-made cantilever/coil/diamond stylus assembly with a boron rod cantilever and original line-contact stylus. The body is machined from a single piece of hard-anodized aluminum alloy for superior rigidity and uses a non-polepiece construction with two symmetrical disc magnets. It delivers a detailed, natural sound with excellent treble extension, wide soundstage, and low surface noise. The cartridge weighs 6.4 grams and requires a tracking force of 1.7 to 1.8 grams. It is recommended for use with phono amplifiers capable of properly amplifying its 0.45mV output.
