Dear friends: The @marktomaras thread's question gave us the opportunity to show each one of us as the " expert " we are on that subject where each one ( as always . ) has its own opinion according each one ignorance levels.
My first reaction to the thread was to recomend mark to email JC directly at Lyra but because of time I did not and now I can see to many opinions and I made a search to Delos owners experiences about and all of them said that the Delos is " extremely " sensitive " to minute VTF changes out of 1.75 gr., I found out two gentlemans that had not that kind of experience but was because they made it a wrong tonearm/cartridge set up parametrs even one of them bought a MINT LP protractor and when used/reset the set up light on at 1.75 .
Each cartridge manufacturer has its own design targets and JC is no exception and he is the real expert on his cartridges not you or me, we are only speculative persons or with very bad advisors behind us.
Now, JC is not only a Lyra expert but one of the best knowledge level overall cartridge designer if not the best one.
Please read carefully what JC posted several years ago about what everyone is speculating:
