What after a Lyra Delos, if any ?

Oregonpapa, I am more eager than you to hear your reaction. Please decide which thread are you going to reply in.

I just got my new VDH colibri today from Stephan in holland. I paid 2k but I believe retail is closer to 10k so not really a fair comparison. So far I've only got 2.5 hours on it but it is definitely a hefty step up from the Delos. Ive had the delos for about 5 years so I know it well. I also got a audio quest nsx 7000 used this year that slightly edges out the Delos. Not sure if I would go used again though as I picked up a cartridge from grgaudio in California with supposedly only 300 hours. I think he forgot a 0 and he meant 3000. I can't even use it as it sounds like a popcorn popper. Off to sound smith.

Oregonpapa, I am VERY interested in your results with the ART-9. Please start a new thread with your ART-9 impressions.

What is the rest of your system?

Hi
Since my original question was taken to another side (no problem with that), I've opened another post on a comparison between VDH colibri and Benz lp-s.

Sorry ...didn't mean to highjack the thread.
