It takes some time getting the right headshell and so on but it sounds really good to these ears. Cannot see how it can get much better and I have heard some great tonearms.

I am using the headshell wires that came with the LH6000 and also a Orsonic 200 gram record Clamp With the Glider, I am using a Jelco HS-25 and with the Grace the Stock headshell

The Delos is great as well, needs many hours of run in. The Bronze was very good. The Delos just tracks so amazingly that it is hard to take off of the table. Patience is a virtue with it as it takes a long time to run in. At least my copy did. It does not hurt from time to time to use the demagnetizer.

I have had my table for about 4 months and after considerable listening, the sound just opened up immensely. It was very good before this happened. Now it sounds simply incredible. I bet its the wires in the tonearm. They must take a long time to run in. very deep and accurate bass and the sound just relaxed a bit. This with a Lyra Delos.
