LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING

@jcarr


while we have you here and helping, indeed advocating nice, can you look at the PM i sent you about Delos and a Triplaner. You marked my simple ? as “ spam “I asked Bruce H. my ever awesome dealer in San Diego and my recollection is he sent me to you.

Bruce gets fine sound out of a VPI with a Delos, top line tube phono / pre, SS Vandy amp and Kento speakers….best sound i have heard out of a unipivot…

so a vote for returning cart to Lyra for checkup

Anyone answering this thread just fell into a bear trap! ROFL The OP loves his HANA.

I bent a cantilever on the Hana ML I had and it is either going to be repaired or replaced at the dealer.  I'm thinking of just trading that Hana AND the Delos in on a KLEOS. I am extremely picky of my sound and maybe the Delos is too low end of a cartridge. Also, I am extremely hard on Cartridges due to having a few beers and getting clumsy with the tonearm. I will have the Delos inspected. My friend has a Kleos and told me I should have just by passed the Delos and gotten it.

Sorry I don't think I have seen your communication; or if I did I must have failed to follow up on it.
Could I ask you to resend it?
If you use the title "Delos and Triplanar" for example, it should be easy to search for it.

What makes you think the Kleos is more durable?
I am thinking you need a Grado or a stack of 2M Blacks…

BTW I like the Bronze and Black, great values, user replacement stylus, solid company, etc

Jeff - wish you the best man
