Ortofon Cadenze versus Lyra Delos

Looking to upgrade my cartridge. Listen to a large variety of music.

Considering Ortofon Cadenza Red/Blue versus Lyra Delos.

System:
B&W 804 Diamond speakers
McIntosh MC275 amplifier
Triode TRX-1 preamplifier
Fosgate Signature Phono Stage
VPI Classic 1 turntable
JL Audio F110 subwoofer

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not so fast my friend...While I have not heard a Delos directly compared with a Cadenza, I can tell you the Cadenza Red is a fine cartridge, detailed without being sterile. I own one. Worth a listen. Obviously, if possible, make a direct comparison and let your ears decide.

Either of these these two carts will bring you much music pleasure. I personally favor Lyra, but I have a 2M Red MM for another system and I am amazed at how much it sounds like a higher end MC for only $100.

I agree with Hoopster, ortofon makes some fine cartridges, have not heard the red...sorry, but I have owned a Jubilee for years and can't imagine changing. I have also heard the cadenza bronze many times and it passes excellent information as well.

Lyra is reputed to be excellent also....
