LYRA DELOS IS AMAZING!!!!

After nearly throwing the LYRA DELOS in the garbage, a swap out of phono preamps have vindicated this fine cartridge.  The BAT VK P12 phono preamp has transformed the LYRA into a game changer. I retract all previous statements about this Cartridge other than it I do believe it sounds best with tubes or EXTREMELY high end solid state with FET's. Music now floats effortlessly without grain, without harshness and full of detail.  The Lyra tracks beautifully and is nearly as quiet as digital( no clicks and pops).

So you’re not looking for a NEW $5k MM cartridge anymore after you claimed "MC’s are COMPLETELY overrated" and then "I hope some designer builds a balls to the wall Moving Magnet. Like a 5k dollar moving magnet. I’ll buy it. " ???

Even after J.Carr himself informed us several years ago about new Japanese MM Coreless straight-flux cartridges Suzaku and Seiryu.

Now when you’re in love again with your Lyra (such a happy end) you could consider J.Carr’s recommendations more seriously (for an alternative MM at $15k :)

Unfortunately we have not heard yet about any user of Suzaku (Red Sparrow) or Seiryu (Blue Dragon) cartridges here on audiogon.

Many Japanese cartridges are unknown in the USA.

The most stupid threads on audiogon are the most popular, but basically it's just an opinion of a stranger. Audiogon today is just a FAQ message board, people normally post here when they have some problem with their gear. How anyone can "ruin the name" of the internationally renowned brand by posting something on audiogon? Who cares about posts on audiogon?
