Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?

tzh21y,

Happy that you’re still experimenting with your TT.  I was at Axpona on Saturday. In the Technics room, they were trying the MoFo record weight.
I meet Ralph Karsten and Tri Mai. I did order a SL1200G and had it sent to them. Tri has finished my Triplanar arm and I think Ralph needs me to send my Lyra Kleos. He should have the modded Technics done soon. 
 
I can hardly wait to get it in my system. I still think it will be a giant killer. 

I find I must amend my prior post and emphatically agree with those who have reminded us of the importance of matching cartridges to tonearms.  Since my prior post I have acquired and had a total rehab done on a Garrard 301.  I mounted an Ortofon TA-110 and installed my Delos.  Previously I had the Delos on my VPI HW19 with ET II arm.  On the VPI/ET rig I found the Delos slightly bright and etched.  On my Garrard/Ortofon rig it is a completely different cartridge.  Still very extended but with a much richer midrange and far greater sense of air and space.  Gone is the brightness.

That Funk Firm mat is nothing more than PVC foam sheet. Available at any hardware store or sign store for pennies. And obviously comes in the same colors Funk Firm uses. 

When it comes to plastic mats, I like acrylic better. Any used laserdisc can be used.

I like acrylic better too.  The funk firm is the right height at the moment.  If I could find a good acrylic mat I would snap it up.

Nkonor- you are right, it is

tzh21y,

We will see / hear soon. I have packed the Kleos and will ship to Ralph tomorrow.

tzh, have you looked at the Ortofon acrylic mat? That’s what I will have on the modded Technics
