I ended up loading at 160 ohms, Boston Audio Mat, 1.75 Grams is where it needs to be, Anti-Skate just above 1. The Orsonic DS-200G disc stabilizer sounds the best with this setup and I had the stillpoints LPI, did not like certain things it did on the 1200G. I also have the project puck, use it once in a while. The Achromat and the Lyra Delos work the best as far as being able to get the VTA right. Its the right height but is resonant at certain frequencies that I do not care for but most of the time sounds fine. The Boston Audio Mat sounds the best, just wish it was a bit thicker and it would be perfect. I am using the Ortofon LH-4000 with the Delos and took the headshell leads off of the LH-6000 and put them on the LH-4000. Sounds great. My cartridge took well over 100 hours to run in which was disappointing. My suggestion to anyone with a Delos is be patient. It is the best tracking cartridge I have ever owned or heard along with other Lyras, just incredible control in grooves. I have the VTA set as low as it will go. YMMV but this has been my experience with the Delos and 1200G. Heard a Ortofon Bronze with the 1200g it sounded very good, not as forward sounding but it definitely has its virtues. I really liked that combination very much.
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?
