LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING

This thread is sad. Ones opinion seems to matter above all others. 

Please rest this thread. I'm 60 and have noticed the break in in various pieces of equipment. One SACD PLAYER had a 2k mod done in 03 and when it came back it sounded lifeless. It was until I ran in continuously for hours and the tubes opened up then the sound was awesome. If I had of made a review the first day then it would not have been a valid review. Same thing with the last speakers I bought. It took weeks until they opened up. Now 3 years ago I dropped 10k on an amp and right out of the box on the first couple of notes I heard a certain purity of tone and a dark background that wasn't there with the 20 year amp it replaced. Same manufacturer.

Jafant itvwas a Shanling T200 and it sounded awesome until the decoding board slowly and very slowly started dying. Every month an additional 3 to 6 or so CDs would not play ever again. It was like I had a virus in my CD collection but the modder said it was a known issue about the decoding board in that player. Sadly Shanling does not support it. Curiously when I retired it 5 years ago it still would play one and just one CD out of my 500 plus CDs. The best of the Mamas and Papas!!! The Shanling looked cool though. It reminded me if a moon station I built in the Boy Scouts!!  😆
