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).
But he was not having any of the recommendations and was just bad mouthing the Delos. Believe it or not, people read up on these major purchases and a bad thread can leave a bad taste.
I followed the other thread, this guy doesn’t know what’s going on.
