New Delos cart

I just mounted my new Delos cart on my new VPI Scoutmaster II. The cart sounds a little bright and more forward compared to what I'm used to. Will this brightness subside over time, or is that the way this cart will sound? If it will essentially stay the same, does it's more sophisticated brothers (Kelos/Skala) have a more mellow sound? All I have read says the Delos sounds as good or better than it's more expensive counterparts.

I compared the Delos with a lot of cartridges, I seriously think it is one of the best out there you can buy. Independent from Price.
BUT:
I will show you exactly what is going on with the connected units. I think, when you are disturbed from a frequency area, the problem is somewhere else. Based on its Price you will see it mainly in low quality Systems and the reactions from these owners are the way they can hear it with those units. Listen to it with a real top Turntable/Arm and Frontend and you will scratch your head in amazement.
For low quality Systems the Kleos is a better match based on its limited Frequency area.
