LYRA DELOS IS AMAZING!!!!
You came to your other thread requesting assistance and advice, it was given to you by several well intentioned folk and even the designer of your Delos! Yet you stated that one of the members was essentially ignorant, all MC’s were broken and tha... 
Should I switch to a larger room?
Bigger is NOT always better IME... The larger room may well be better, but there are a number of variables that come into play. One of the variables has already been mentioned, and that is the ceiling height. If the ceiling height is the same in b...

@rauliruegas Raul, have you heard the Rega RP 10? I ask as I have and while it is a very good table, it is not IMHO in any way better than what I currently have. Plus, I think in some areas, like resolution, the Linn is better. If you are referrin...

@articdeth I think with the Kleos ( and all Lyra’s) the VTF is crucial. i have mine set at the suggested VTF.Thank you, but I will not be experimenting with that.

@jcarr  Thank you for your post. It was very informative. The Kleos does seem to work acceptably in the WTA 'Black' arm, although as you note, i would like to see a lot more accuracy and consistency in its adjustment capability. Nonetheless, the a...

@mijostyn I think you are confusing AJ’s work a little. He did bring out his "The Work of Art’ table as his top model..prior to the Transcendence. As to my understanding of the 4 Point arm, I feel your post was quite supercilious and telling. BTW,...

@grk   I did as suggested above and increased the Anti Skate a little. This seems to have solved the problem, although I still need to listen further to some of the more 'dynamic' passages. Agreed, there are always folks who will naysay any produc... 
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
Given the OP's stance, there is no point in further discussion or advice about the Lyra Delos. He clearly had made up his mind about the cartridge before his OP and simply wanted re-enforcement for his position. I am off this thread now.

@yeti42   Thanks. I agree the WTA is difficult to replace. I have listened to a number of tonearms on the LP12, including the original Aro, the Ekos SE-1, and a few SME's. None were clearly superior to the WTA in most areas, and a few just didn't ... 
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
With all of the opinions voiced so far on the Lyra sound, I have not seen any mention of the Tonearm or Turntable used along with the ancillary upstream gear. Surely the cartridge, tonearm, tonearm cable, phono cable and the table have a lot to do... 
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
IME, Lyra’s can sound bright and tipped up if their set up isn’t 100% correct. The new angle technology is both a bane and a plus, IMO. The problem with the new Lyra cartridges is that they are extremely sensitive to set up variables and the back ...

@yeti42   The Kleos has a cantilever that can easily be impacted by wrong A-S. I have to take a listen to the modification that I did to the A-S tonight, but what i added was a very small amount, as too much and the cantilever will skew. The WT ar...

@mijostyn  I think you must be confused. I believe that AJ considered the Transcendence as his Magnum Opus!  If you ever get a chance to hear this turntable, i believe you will understand why.As to the WTA, I have heard absolutely no issues with t...

@mijostyn   Thanks for your explanation. I was aware that the arm potentially can move in the longitudinal plane, although I have never heard any issue with this..and frankly fail to see what would cause it to do this? An electrical engineering fr...
