i can confirm a Delos into a Herron is magical. The Lamm or ARC are better…but a 2-4x the cost, at which point a better Lyra makes more sense……
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).
