Shout out to Syntax - re: Delos

Syntax,

Thanks for your review of the Delos several years ago. I got one about a year ago based on your comments, tweaked my system a bit, and have been enjoying the resulting music immensely. My system is modest by Audiogon standards, but it must be pretty good because the Delos elevates the level of playback substantially. The cost of the Delos is a stretch for me, but it was more than worth it.

Best regards.

Oh, thank you. I am not used to that :-)
Try some London CS records [6049, 6007, 6006 ..] and you will hear
what that cartridge is able to do .... or old Van Morrison LP's
Happy Listening, enjoy the time jump.

For the price the Delos is a gem - competes with $2500 MC on the market.

Having owned purchased new Benz Glider, Koetsu Urushi and Sheler 501 mkll, Lyra Helikon and Argo i cartridges, the Delos I am now using (one each for VPI Traveler and Aries 2 tables) are the finest and most natural sounding of them all. Do not tell Jonathan Carr that he could be selling these for twice the price.

The Price tag has nothing to do with real Performance. At CES 2013 you can see a modified Roksan tonearm for $3500,-- and all talk about it. Sorry, it is $35000,--, the Designer says, it can't be made cheaper, the Dealer says, yes, after listening with it, it is worth $35000,-- and some audiophiles can't sleep now ...
