| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Green Mountain Audio Chroma speakers...just a bad experience during the sale and more so after receiving them with a damaged driver which I replaced. I sold them as fast as I could. | |
| On the hunt for best phono cable under $1k As @Stevecham states without the need for ground wire any RCA should work but before you commit to an unshielded RCA IC, make sure you don't have a hum issue. From turntable to phono stage is where this issue may present itself and may necessitate... | |
| Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos But used or demo Chinook is definitely in your range. There's one on Audio Asylum for $1350. | |
| Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos When I owned the Delos the Manley Chinook was a great match. | |
| Break-in time for a new cartridge What time zone are you in? Don't forget in the US daylight savings time starts this Sunday so you will loss an hour of break in. | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic @Mofimadness - I was the second owner of this Delos and the warranty was never brought up. I'm not sure if they went by serial number or what to determine. I coordinated everything through Alasdair at AudioQuest - Apatrick@audioquest.com. I simply... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic Oh yes Bifwynne...I should have mentioned longest, most painful 8 weeks of my audio life but well worth the wait in the end. | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic When I had a suspension issue with my Delos I worked with AudioQuest USA who in turn sent the cartridge to Lyra in Japan. Overall it took 8 weeks but it was well worth having Lyra investigate and resolve the suspension issue. My Delos arrived back... | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? I received my new Classic 2 on Dec 6, 2013 and the platter has the recessed center to accommodate the label, not raised whatsoever. This is the latest version with motor/pulley mounted rear left and silver push on/off button front left on top of p... | |
| Jcoehler what do you have the delos loaded at on t 100 Ohm | |
| VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec? I use these now:http://www.upscaleaudio.com/matsushita-national-pcc88-7dj8/I really want to try some Amperex 7308's or 6922's - PQ / D-getters but can't afford a set of 4. These Nationals are highly recommended by Kevin at Upscale who also sells t... | |
| VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec? I had the same issue with the Parasound that Jeffkleinberg describes, lack of loading. Two things led me to purchase the Chinook, number 1 and most important was a home demo with my components in my listening room. The second that helped the proce... | |
| VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec? With your very nice table and cartridge you should really stretch for the best phono stage you can afford and the Chinook is a fantastic match with the Delos. I have both the Delos and Chinook, there is great synergy between the two. | |
| Rega P5 w/Denon 103R what should I upgrade to? Vortrex - We get it, you don't like Rega turntables. Your posts on any Rega turntable question are non-productive and self serving.To the OP - Dynavectors are great choices or the Rega Exact 2 if you want to go MM. Also make sure your P5 is on a l... | |
| New Delos cart I've owned a Delos for over a year. I can't disagree more with Pani. There is definitely a break in period, 100 hours per Mofimadness is about right. You can always start the break in period with the tail slightly down to help smooth it out somewh... |
