Delos bottoming out anybody else experience this?

yes

yup. I will.  It does not do it all the time but when it does it is very aggravating.  I have other cartridges that I could use in the interim.

@tzh21y It would seem that you should have your set up checked before you do anything else. I believe the Delos is supposed to track with the arm parallel to the record...which you state yours is not!

Right, it was parallel to record and was bottoming out. I raised it to help. I was told by Lyra rep to track at 1.7. I was tracking at 1.75 per the spec. I sounds much better at 1.71 where i have it now. I still think it will bottom out again. I may have to send it back for a look. There is a very narrow window with these cartridges. geez

I have only had it for about 6 months.  Suspension should not relax that much.  wow.

I did talk to him and he did mention they would look at it (12 week lead).  He said they are so fine tuned that they almost have to be at 1.7.  The spec should be changed to 1.7 instead of 1.75 optimum.  It does sound better at at 1.71or 1.72.  I did return it to be parallel to the record.  we shall see but I may have them look at it because its been bottoming out within the last couple of months, not at the beginning.

The difference between 1.75 and 1.7 is minute to say the least.  I ended up sending it back for eval as it bottomed out again at 1.7.  No dust or lint anywhere.  Oh well.

They did say they would do everything to make it right.   I have a feeling this is not the first time this has happened.
