LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING

I like the Delos very much.  I find it plays best at between 1.7 and 1.72 tracking force.

"When I heard a Demo of the Delos it was on an all tube system. Mine is solid state. There is the problem. I would not recommend this cartridge to anyone unless you have tubes which roll of highs and add body and warmth to the sound. "

Perhaps your tonearm is not damped enough.  It takes a while to dial it in.  Try a lower tracking force.

The Delos is an excellent cartridge.  It may be one of the best at that price.

I do believe the Delos is tipped a little towards the highs but it still sounds great.  It has great resolution for is cost.  Try a lower tracking force.  I always thought 1.75 was too heavy on my system.  Around 1.7 sounded the best.
