When I listen to the Lyra, it makes me think that many recent recordings, and recent reissues(not all) are purposely remastered somewhat hot knowing that most cartridges are in fact rolled off. I personally have not heard many cartridges with this kind of extension in my life. Cartridges like this can really dig so much out of older original issue recordings. Its quite amazing. I honestly cannot see myself wanting to listen to my living stereos, mercurys, deccas, columbias, etc. with anything but this cartridge. I could not fully appreciate what was on these records with my older cartridges, mainly benz like I can with this one. The benz can sound very pleasing with orchestral reissues but just cannot track like this one. I have never heard a cartridge track like this one ever. The other cartridge that was close was a Denon.
Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?
My experience with the Lyra Delos has been good and to put it the best way too revealing? So far my original vinyl sounds incredible, especially stuff from the Golden age of stereo. Amazing to say the least. However, newly remastered stuff sounds extremely overdone and in some cases unlistenable and I am talking about a lot of Classic reissues. Is this just the way it will be or will this cartridge still relax a little as I only have roughly 50 hours or so on it?
