Lyra Delos vs EMT TSD 15

The myth is that all EMT T(X)DS 15 are the same. This is not
true because the new suspension and stylus are designed
meanwhile. The stylus is designed for the records (vinyl)
not for the material for cutting the grooves. It is now
called 'fine line'. Gyger II (aka Van den Hul) is abandoned.
Reto Andreoli was the first to criticize Van den Hul stylus
shape as inadequate for the records but only few payd attention.
I own the new 'golden' XSD 15 which tracks much better
(70 microns with 2,5 g) and sounds much better then
LZI or Shiraz ( Roksan version of the 'old' EMT with Gyger II ).
EMT wants obviously to keep the old myth a life.

I'm also considering the Lyra Kleos. Curious to hear from those who have heard the Kleos, the Delos, and the EMT TSD 15.

When you prefer a dull sound, slow and anemic, because you need a compensation for a shrill sounding System, the EMT is a good choice. When you want to spend some money but have no idea for what, check out the Kleos. When you want a killer cartridge with a wrong price button, the Delos may be your ticket.

Dear Syntax, I had no idea that I prefer 'dull, slow and
anemic sound'. Thanks for the info. But you have
obviously no idea how the new EMT 'fine line' sounds.
Besides it is a German product , German traitor!

"When you prefer a dull sound, slow and anemic".

The only conclusion I can draw from this statement is that you've never heard the TSD15 SFL.
