Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?

Some is written about the new Delos, here is one doing its job :-)

Lyra Delos

.

Cmalak, I called the Dorian Mono 'amazing' because it does such a good performance for the price. My Mono experience is limited and didn't want to spend a fortune into that. I have most of them in Stereo too and I was interested how good the Monos are. I think it is indeed a good tool to discover Mono records (mine are 1960+). It is VERY silent in the grooves, the output is healthy and the details have "meat on the bones".
The Delos is a impressive cartridge from the price/performance relation. Full, strong stereo sound, excellent detail, right soundstage and I guess, this one will become a classic. It forced me to sell a much more expensive cart.
For most die-hard Audiophiles it is simply "too cheap" (no Hype, no limited Edition...), but when one or the other one will read these lines, give it a try. Can be a quite interesting "Wake-Up-Call".

Hm, good question. I think, it is more on the yellow side of the sound spectrum, with a nice touch into the red.

Did he write about the dance ability? No? Here you see the right position for it.

In a way it is a discussion for every cartridge, for every Set Up, for different records and so on.

Let us have a look into the Delos manual:
"... set height of tonearm pivot so that the Armtube is parallel to LP surface... thicker LP's will require tonearm pivot to be raised, and thinner to be lowered..."

Well, with some tonearms it can be done, the one from continuum with its special "bow" will require some work :-)

But anyway, what is REALLY mean is another Headline in the manual

"Use Your Ears"

:-)

What is the plan if something happens to Mishima and he is unable to build anymore cartridges?

Buy now or cry later :-)
