Lyra Delos Settings

the Linn Uphorik has the following possible settings for a MC cartridge:

MC Gain => +54 dB / +64 dB @ 1 kHz (measured using 20 Ω source into 1 k Ω)

MC Resistance (low) => 31 Ω, 37 Ω, 42 Ω, 53 Ω, 70 Ω, 100 Ω, 170 Ω

MC Resistance (high) => 580 Ω, 670 Ω, 810 Ω, 1 kΩ

MC Capacitance => 470 pF, 1 nF, 1.5 nF, 2 nF

What settings would you recommend for the Lyra Delos MC cart?

Hi Jonathan,

My tonearm is a VPI JMW-9 Signature tonearm with Valhalla internal cabling and I have no idea what the capacitance is for this cable.

However, the phono cable (1 meter) that runs from the VPI Junction Box (RCA) to the Linn Uphorik phono pre-amp (XLR) will be upgraded to a Nordost Heimdall 2 with a capacitance of 25pF/ft.

Jonathan,

To answer your questions above...

"The Nordost Heimdall 2 will likewise be one meter long (3.28 feet)? FWIW, 1.2m is more common for bespoke tonearm cable." - Correct, the Nordost Heimball 2 will be 1.2m in length.

"How long would you estimate the signal wiring inside the JMW-9 tonearm to be (including the leads to the junction box)?" - I would estimate about 12.5 inches.
