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?

Ask yourself whether you're in love with a rising top end, common to MC cartridges, or with a truly extended hf response.
Also, if lowest tip mass is paramount, we should all be listening to MI or induced magnet types.

Oh My gosh.  Something just happened.  This is quite amazing.  Now everything sounds amazing.  The lower mids just filled in appropriately.  Just like that.  By far the best cartridge I have ever heard.

Hi @lewm,

Well, it's all a balancing act.  I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

Lyra and other MCs don't dig up more detail. They just over exaggerate what other cartridges don't. It's false information. But to a casual listener, it may seem like a revelation.

Okay, I might have been a little over excited.  It is definitely ONE of the best cartridges I have ever heard.
