I have a Delos in an ET II tonearm on a VPI TNT, installed it last April. Herron VTPH2 phono stage, muse signature 3 preamp, Marantz SMS 11 amp, Audio Artistry Vivaldi speakers. It took some time to get the Delos set up right, but now it sings. Very easy to listen too, no fatiguing at all. Plenty of detail and low level micro dynamics. Most decent LP's just bloom. I can't imagine a "hot stamper" sounding any better. Now that it's settled in, listening to records is more like listening to people play music, rather than just listening to music, a distinction I hope I'm conveying correctly. I've had Van Den Huls, a Helikon and Grados, and this baby is my favorite cartridge so far, by a large margin.
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.
