Benz Ebony LP or Lyra Delos ?


For about the same money I am getting to buy a Lyra Delos and Benz Ebony LP (not LP-S) cartridge. I listen mostly to classic rock and Blues, so, tone, PRAT and dynamics are most important while soundstage accuracy and transparency can be compromised a little. Tonearm is a Basis Vector 4.

Lyra Delos is highly regarded in general while Benz LP was their top model before the LPS. Which of these would you suggest ?

BTW, I also have an offer on an Ortofon Cadenza Black for about the same money but not sure if it is suited for Rock and Blues.

The Benz Ebony TR is a VERY low output cartridge and needs the best pre that can be had to bring out its virtues. I would get the Benz LP and trade it for an LPS....a really great cartridge.
