Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?

My experience with the Lyra Delos has been good and to put it the best way too revealing?  So far my original vinyl sounds incredible, especially stuff from the Golden age of stereo.  Amazing to say the least.  However, newly remastered stuff sounds extremely overdone and in some cases unlistenable and I am talking about a lot of Classic reissues.  Is this just the way it will be or will this cartridge still relax a little as I only have roughly 50 hours or so on it?

I put between 80 and 100 hours on a Delos and then sold it at a huge loss.  It's not for everyone.

@lewm I couldn't agree more.  I was using a Benz Wood SL and bought a Delos while the Benz was in for service.  The Benz was a bit too soft for 80s Thrash Metal but the Delos was a bit too hard.  My current Kiseki Blue NS is a very good balance of both those cartridges.

@tzh21y  I hear ya.  I sold my Delos with 80 hours on it for only $950.  The boosted treble just didn't do it for me.  And I'm running OCC copper ICs.
