I have been using a Dyna 20h for the last month or so - didn't end up going the Zu Denon route.  I like the cartridge - different than the 103r - probably more detail and much smoother, but seems like less drama and real life in the room sound. 

Have just purchased a Lyra Kleos.  This is a bit of a risk in that I haven't read about anyone using this cart with the WTA - but anticipating that the match should be okay.  Looking for more detail and dynamics.  After my mis-step with the Jubilee I am hoping this pricey flyer will pay off and will have found some magic with this combo.

there's a thread on audiogon about comparing the kleos to the EMT...

"the TSD15 has a colourful big bold sound, superbly macro dynamic and full sound without sacrificing anything in the high frequency. You get a impactful, forceful sound which is more like analogue. The Lyra is more like a modern day sound, precisely cut, less meat more bones, somewhat tipped towards highs, faster, somewhat cleaner, slightly higher in resolution altogether a bit like CDs."

yes thought about EMT as well which I have read matches well with the WTA.  Loved that write-up until it got to the part of sounding like cd's and cringed - I have a Lampizator and cds sound great in my system but not sure it was cds through a lampizator.
