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?

basement- the one thing I like most about the Lyra, is the performance on old vinyl, just incredible.  I can listen to almost all my older records and thoroughly enjoy them whereas the newer ones sometime sound a bit overdone with this cartridge.  I can always put the Glider on on for those records.

@tzh21y Why would you get the Bronze instead of the legendary amazing incredible 2M Black?

I will have my hand on Delos in the near future for a project, I'll get a chance to really test it.

SME Model 10 finally showed up and is breaking in. Overall better than Gyro SE. But these are just first impressions.

Cadenza Bronze.  Have you ever listened to any of the nagaoka moving magnets?  they are supposed to be very good and reasonable.  

What are you hearing that you like better that the Gyro SE?  The Gyro SE is a great table.  I never heard an SME 10 just the 20.

I bet the Delos would be great on the Gyro SE
