Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?

There was an initial thread about the Lyra Delos a few months back, but I haven't seen much follow up about users' impressions with this cartridge. Is anyone using a Delos and if so, how are you liking it?

I'm looking for a new cartridge for my VPI Classic and JLTi phono stage. I'm currently using an old Grado cartridge from my previous turntable, and it's on its last legs. So if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them. Price ceiling about $1,500. System used mostly to play rock, jazz and acoustic music.

Thank you.

Is this Delos cart warmer than say a Shelter 501 or the higher shelter carts ?

Hm, good question. I think, it is more on the yellow side of the sound spectrum, with a nice touch into the red.

I'm enjoying my new Delos at the moment but mine rides quite low, much lower than Syntax's , very nice pic by the way. The washi paper is touching the record as it plays right from the word go.

Syntax, Great photo. But your SRA looks a bit off, based on Fremer's latest column in S'phile. 92 degrees, he says.

Did he write about the dance ability? No? Here you see the right position for it.
