Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?

I have two Delos and have enjoyed them on a VPI Aries for several years. I have since gravitated to Nagaoka MI cartridges simply because they produce more dynamics and heft. The highs are fine and spacial content is superior to the Delos. I can feel the drums even at low levels. I also had a Benz Glider and Koetsu Urushi for a while but yawn, ultimately got bored. Grados, some vintage Pickering MIs and Nagaokas are now my cartridges of choice. The Ortofon Black I rarely listen to; it is etched sounding and harsh.

tzh21y,

Heading home from St Paul. Picked up the Technics SL1200G that Ralph modded with a Triplanar Classic SE tonearm and mounted my Lyra Kleos cartridge.
About 4-5 more hours to home.
Can hardly wait to hear it in my system. They did a stunning job.

@tzh21y 

you were right.  I am at 300 ohms.  much better.  had it at 475, too bright.  might try 320.

Good to hear you tried loading higher.  Around 250- 300 range seems to be the sweet spot for Delos. I also found 500ohms a bit high in my ss phono. 
   You can generally load higher in tube phono stages. 

nkonor, I am sure it will sound amazing. the 1200g is amongst very few turntables Ive heard that just does so many things right and gets better after considerable breakin say 200 hours or so.  It really is an amazing value.  one of the best out there.

About 50 hours in with fabulous setup by Robert at Stereo Unlimited !
liquid, grace and ease so far..... no desire to mess around with it.....
