Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?

There was an initial thread about the Lyra Delos a few months back, but I haven't seen much follow up about users' impressions with this cartridge. Is anyone using a Delos and if so, how are you liking it?

I'm looking for a new cartridge for my VPI Classic and JLTi phono stage. I'm currently using an old Grado cartridge from my previous turntable, and it's on its last legs. So if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them. Price ceiling about $1,500. System used mostly to play rock, jazz and acoustic music.

Thank you.

Actusreus, I will let it burn in more.

Dover, I am upgrading the motor of my Platine so my standby Technics is playing these days.

Actusreus, I forgot to add, the RCM is a superb phonostage. Please do not drop it from your shortlist because of my Delos issue. I have heard the RCM in at least 6 different carts including the ZYX 4D and it is one heck of a phonostage. Very quiet, clean, open, dynamic with an almost natural tube like midrange.

Good to hear, Pani. Always a tricky thing with pieces of gear you can't readily audition in your system.
Keep us posted on the Delos.

I have a question, first, I have the Lyra Delos cart and my Tonearm mass category is from mid-heavy to heavy. Is my Delos compliance with my Tonearm? Thank you.
