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.

The Delos weighs 7.3 grams, so it is within the right range.

Specs:

That compares to 6.4 grams for both the Dorian and the Argo. The Dyna 20x, which seems to be recommended quite a bit for VPIs, is 9.1 grams.

Great responses so far, and I thank those who have given their feedback. I'm moving in a month, but once I get set up in our new house I'm finally going to take the plunge into the Delos.
