I loved it, I had had a Troika which I sold and the Lyra sound is much more open and detailed with out over analysis. I had originally thought of selling the LP12 but really can't find any other tables to demo in my area. So I invested in the Delos with an offer from the dealer to upgrade to the Kleos. Again the Lyra sound in my opinion is top notch and would be in my opinion hard to match or beat at the price point. One thing to consider is the Delos/Kleos is a all new approach for Lyra in the suspension system. Take a look at their website and read what they have done on these new carts.

You're saying you have a great cartridge that you like but instead of enjoying it, you're asking us to tell you to go for something else? Hmmm... The Delos is a fantastic cart. I understand upgrading as the system gradually improves, but upgrading for the sake of upgrading is just silly.
