J Carr has voiced the Delos to have a slightly bright top end to match more warm systems that need some detail.
Thank you for this. It's the whole point I think. In this environment, the Delos is pretty tough to beat.
Everything is system dependent. I've had cartridges in my current setup that sound bright and I've managed that with a cable swap or putting the grilles back on my Harbeths or swapping a tube.
We are just adjusting our tone controls that we no longer have.
