LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING

jvc tonearm ua 7045 and TT 81 101 works extremely well with it. which easy and cheap to buy. very analog. resolved. powerful and musical combo.

Victor TT-101 is not easy and not cheap to buy :) First of all: the Victor TT-101 in perfect working condition is impossible to find, repair cost nearly $2k. We shipped one for repair to JP, other members claimed they can’t even fix their TT-101 for many years.

What is cheap is TT-81, much simpler turntable, easy to fix, but technically not on the same level as Victor reference TT-101 !

@jeffvegas - 

You are completely correct.  The delos is a terrible cartridge, way to thin and bright.  There's NOTHING wrong with your system.

I'm in a particularly charitable mood.  If you can carefully repackage the cartridge in its original box with all the protection in place and no damage, I'll pay shipping and give you $150 to dispose of that terrible piece of phono cartridge.  I'll even test and verify the cartridge's condition for a couple thousand hours.

Normally a bidding war doesn’t go backwards…

tt81 is ok... go look it up in buyee

200 300 ish good condition. I just bought 2 for my friends 

Did OP listen to a dem before buying?
It's understandable most dealers don't want to loan carts for audition like other equipment, but he could have had a dem.  If the sound is as slanted as he says, he would certainly have heard it.

Never buy blind!
