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?

The boston audio design mat is great as and the Funk firm is ok as well.  the funk firm is a little thicker so it allows more VTA adjustablility. I wish the Boston audio mat was a little thicker for the Lyra.

i ordered a Delos and Phenomena - Nova to run with my Basis 1400
will let you know how it sounds....vs the Grado Ref Sonata 2
last time I heard this cartridge was on a Bardo with factory arm and it was quite well balanced.....
