Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?

There was an initial thread about the Lyra Delos a few months back, but I haven't seen much follow up about users' impressions with this cartridge. Is anyone using a Delos and if so, how are you liking it?

I'm looking for a new cartridge for my VPI Classic and JLTi phono stage. I'm currently using an old Grado cartridge from my previous turntable, and it's on its last legs. So if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them. Price ceiling about $1,500. System used mostly to play rock, jazz and acoustic music.

Thank you.

Hi Jonathan Carr!
Didn´t you have a thread comparing Delos with Lyra Skala, in som respect better in others worse. Can´t find it.

Many Thanks!

Hi again!
Anyone know distance between stylus tip and cartridge front
on Delos. Maybe it varies from cartridge to cartridge, but is it significant.

Many Thanks!

Actusreus!
I know, and I understand why your wonder.
Because I have a Mint Protractor made for AirTight PC-1 with distance 9.5 mm from needle - cartridge front. That would save me an order for a new.
I still have the same arm.

Many Thanks!

Hi Gyus!
What would I do without your valuable tips.
I had the impression that it´s combination of arm/cartridge-data that´s needed for making Mint Protractor.

Many Thanks!

Hi!
Yeah, You did make my weekend for shure.
Now I will listen for quiet a while and then make minor adjustments if needed. Most difficult part I find is getting cantilever parallel on zero-points (at the arc).
Once in sweet spot it´s definately rewarding.

Thanks again, have a nice weekend!

Thanks Jonathan!
I meant distance between mounting holes and stylus.
My AirTight PC-1 cartridge (for service in Japan) lies around 9.5 mm.
