The Delos is a "truth teller" in that if you don't like it, in many cases its because its not setup correctly. The truth being you need some help with it.
Delos is super finicky on setup especially VTA and azimuth, it has to be pretty much perfect. Lyra designs their carts for a specific setup and loading.
When I bought the Foz meter that was amazing, but more than anything the loading is key. Too many user rely on 100 ohms, not good for the Delos, and you need to use a low cap cable, preferably under 100pF/mt, so you can load it in the 300-500 ohms range....Once all this is done it will sing like a songbird......and has plenty of low end to shake walls.
Mine took about 30 hours once it was dialed in......Be sure you are at 1.75g also.
