Anyone move on from a Lyra Delos?


Where did you end up?

Long time ago I bought the Delos and the dealer allowed me to move up to the Kleos. I guess I liked the Delos so much that I figured the Kleos was a step up, which it was a remarkable improvement. And I say that knowing that I would still have the Delos, had it not been for the dealers offer. But if you love your Delos, and like the Lyra house sound, I suggest a Kleos. I had a Lydia prior to the Delos and a Linn Troika in between. Bus as good as that Troika was, I just longed for the Lyra sound.
I've also owned several Lyra carts, (Dorian, Argos, Delos and several pre-Lyra carts) and really do like the sound.  My only problem I have had is the suspensions can start to collapse to a point that the body of the cart scrapes the record.

Lyra has ALWAYS take care of me!!!  Jonathan Carr is a true gentleman and since Audioquest has been the importer, they have been fantastic to deal with.  My highest recommendation!

IMHO, (and this is just my opinion), I like the Dynavector 17D2MKII or 17D3 better than the Delos, (and it's cheaper).

It really depends on your budget.  These are ones that I either currently own or have owned recently that I like more than the Delos or Kleos, but again, it's my system and my room and my ears and my music, ad nauseum...
