LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING

I have a Hana ML and a Delos. Same phono and IC ( AQ Fire ) ( Herron ) , different tables.  Your loading and or your VTA are wrong. Undamaaged, and not worn out  you will have a long list of buyers at $500.

I've listened to that cart. at length, and it's nothing like you described. In fact it's one of the most musical catridges I've ever heard.I'ts got to be your setup. IMO.

I had it at 470, 1k, 47k, 220, 100, 47. doesn't make a difference.  shrill bright sound. junk. The HANA ML absolutely blows this LYRA DELOS away!!! 

I going try to trade it back in on a HANA ML or ORTOFON CADENZA RED. The dealer told me how great the Delos is. NOPE. 

IME, Lyra’s can sound bright and tipped up if their set up isn’t 100% correct. The new angle technology is both a bane and a plus, IMO. The problem with the new Lyra cartridges is that they are extremely sensitive to set up variables and the back end gear that they are used with, more so than any other cartridge I have ever used! The Azimuth, VTF, SRA and A-S adjustments seem to be ultra critical. Loading is also critical. I have been experimenting with loading on mine for the better part of five months, finally settling on 750 Ohms. Personally, I like what my Lyra now sounds like, BUT there are days that I do consider going back to a ’warmer and less resolving’ cartridge, one that is set it and forget it. ( Like a Koetsu, or the Benz that I used to own).
