VPI Traveler and Lyra Delos


Is the Delos overkill on the Traveler? I have a Dynavector 20x2M currently, but I'm keeping an eye out for a replacement sooner rather than later.

If you want a great time put an Atlas on a Traveler and sit back and enjoy the sound, it is wonderful.  Yes, it will be better on the Prime but that does not say it will not be almost as wonderful on the Traveler.  The arm on the Traveler is excellent and plays way above its price point.

All that being said I would put the money towards a Prime and be future proof against any cartridge they come up with.

Out of stealth and into the light!!

I love the uni-pivot, it is in my reference system with the JBL's and the Blades but I had to play with gimbaled and yoke bearing assemblies to be sure.  In reality the Yoke arm sounds better to me than the gimbaled but they are very close, the uni-pivot has more air than either of them and slightly less powerful bass but just as defined and detailed.

I have been using Lyra's on uni-pivots for decades, they are a perfect match just require a bit of setup time.  Actually me reference is the Atlas on a 12" 3D printed uni-pivot, for me it is the best in the world.
