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.
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?
