VPI Traveler and Lyra Delos


Is the Delos overkill on the Traveler? I have a Dynavector 20x2M currently, but I'm keeping an eye out for a replacement sooner rather than later.

Has anyone tried a Lyra Delos in a Well Tempered arm? The liquid bearing is basically immune to cartridges that put out a lot of energy.
I'm considering this combo.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I'll stick with a DV of some variation until I upgrade tables/arms. 
$2k is a lot for a cartridge. By all accounts the Lyra is worth it, but you probably need at least $5k table/arm and $3k phono stage plus really good cable to get the most out of it.

Interesting thread. 

I own a Lyra Kleos which is mounted on an upgraded Classic 3 tonearm and base.  Of course, like most VPI arms, the Classic 3 arm is a unipivot.

Are you saying that VPI unipiovot arms and the Kleos (or Delos) are not a good match? 

Admittedly, I never heard my Kleos on another TT, but it seems to play well.

Thanks

what is a good match? Everyone will give a different answer based on his experience. I think, it is ok, the Kleos has a different needle than the Delos. the Kleos is more expensive than Delos but inferior  in comparison when you really want to have maximum sonic Performance for given money. The Kleos works way better with cheap Phonostages or average Arms than Delos. The better the analog chain will be the Delos can follow and show something new, Kleos not. From this point of view the Kleos is a good match.
