| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Hi everybody, just a small update after all this time. I haven't bought an ultrasound machine but I did buy the Lyra cleaning fluid, and it works wonders. The two skipping records I managed to fix myself, and I have had no further skipping probl... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Hi everyone, sorry for the delay but I was burglared so had to spend much time at the police station. Fortunately not much was stolen, even though they tore the cover for my Beatles in Mono box set, the b*st*rds!!! Thanks a lot for all your advi... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever @lewm : your message gave me an epiphany this morning and I checked the arm lift. It was set too high, so my raising the tonearm by one fraction of an inch the other day actually made things better because of that. So I guess there is no mystery ... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Thanks a lot everyone for chiming in. I reset tonearm angle (SME IV), made sure that the arm was parallel to the record surface, and the rest. I also reset azimuth which was a bit off, but that is the difficult thing with the SME. No record has ... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Yesterday I re-aligned the cartridge, tonearm was very very slightly off. I'll check with other records if the problem is still there but for the moment it reads the records beautifully. I'll check with the problem records at the end. | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever It does to me too, was afraid it had been damaged. I'm now on my way to check antiskate. | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever I think this looks OK! https://ibb.co/x2SDwYw | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Hi everyone, thank you for you comments and advice. I have taken the Lyra away from the turntable to have a look at the needle under a microscope. I also have a CBS STR100 record, I might use it to assess the state of the needle (if it looks fishy... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Thanks a lot everybody. It is true that kind of thing can make you wish you'd never chosen vinyl in the first place... The thing that bothers me is the needle. Either it is really small, or it is damaged (which would explain the skips). I'll try... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever @mijostyn , shouldn't the antiskate be increased if I want to avoid jumps forward? | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever OK now I don’t know what to do. Another record, another skip. Now I’m afraid of listening to another record for fear of damaging it. Is there any product I could use to completely clean this stylus? I’m wondering if it is a problem with the sty... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Hi everyone, thank you for all your very useful advice and info. I am very happy with my Lyra, some surface noise which was present with my old Hana sl has disappeared and it is very nice! However, something I did not expect: a couple of my rec... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Hi everyone, it has been a very long while. My SME IV was serviced so I had to wait a few more months to finally experience the Lyra sound. First of all I thank all of you for your help. My Lyra Delos is now singing beautifully, and I am amazed a... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever I have got news from my dealer, the Lyra is on its way back to me after a short trip to Japan. From what Lyra told me it seems the screw at the front of the cart had been squeezed too tight, skewing the cantilever and causing distortion. Thank you... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Hi everyone sorry was at work all day. I set it up but saw that skewed cantilever right from the start. Anyway thanks a lot everybody! |
