Lyra Delos Cartridge - Underrated?
It is all relative.   If your system leans towards lean/bright - the Lyra will sound bright.  Personally I find Benz and the lower level Koetsu coloured, almost like syrup. I also prefer the Delos to the Kleos. Almost as if J Carr has tried to mak...

@best-groove I bought the SL1000Mk3 so I could put a Thales Simplicity II and Lyra Atlas on it from my TW table and this should raise the playback level a few notches. This will come in time.the tonearm was a freebie that I am enjoying, as previou...

Hi Guys. thanks. The tonearm was a freebie after I asked for it to be part of the deal.  Only really to be able to use the  EPC-P100C-MK4 cartridge as originally designed.   Glad I did get it now, but not being able to change any parameter of a c...

Hey LewMy audio buddy who was living in Japan who got me my P3 had looked at removing the wood plinth, bit it was more difficult than thought. The on/off, speed and power buttons are part of the wood plinth build. Personally, I would love to do it...
