Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever
Hi everybody, first of all thanks for the very insightful tips I've been able to gather over years of thread reading.
Today I am finally starting my own thread to ask a question about a brand new Lyra Delos I received this week. This is my first ever cart over 1K and I was expecting something amazing.
Well, the sound is indeed amazing! Even though after 2h30 of cart usage I am still struggling to find some meat to the bones. Sound is VERY precise but I expect it to become even better as hours go by.
However, as soon as I started aligning the cart I found the cantilever went slightly to the left. I have asked my dealer about this and he said it was nothing to worry about but I was hoping to get somebody's opinion on the forum, maybe even Jonathan Carr's. I have included photos.
Thanks a lot for your help everyone!
HI @anthos314 : Improper anti-skating is a very common cause of cantilever skewing, but your photos seem to show some skew without the cartridge being on an LP, also I wouldn't expect improper anti-skating to cause the suspension to develop an offset to either side after only 2.5 hours. In any case, you are welcome to return your Delos to us (via the dealer that you purchased it from) so that we can see and correct what is causing the issue. kind regards, jonathan |
Hi again @anthos314: Prior to sending the cartridge, please include a short note in the box with both the serial number and the nature of the problem that you are experiencing. Knowing this will help us focus quickly on the potential problem areas. You can also email me with the same information as above through Audiogon's message system, so that I can keep an eye out regarding the status of your Delos. kind regards, jonathan |
