| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| LP12 vs Classic III vs. ?? vs.?? Second Vortrex. Just went from Classic 1 to Amadeus. The Classic 1 is really good, but is bettered (to me) in every aspect. Of most importance, it is like you are in the concert hall and the music surrounds you, while the Classic is like you are l... | |
| what did you purchase after PS AUDIO GCPH PHONO? Manley Chinook. The PS Audio GCPH is a very nice unit, especially in the used $5-600 range. But at 4 times the price, the Manley is better in every aspect, as it should be but adds that tube magic to your vinyl that the GCPH can't touch. | |
| Should I upgrade to a Manley Chinook phono pre-amp The Manley Chinook should be heard, especially with your Delos.I've been demoing the Chinook at home for a little over a week and it's amazing with the Delos. I just called my dealer to purchase the Chinook.I've owned the Steelhead, the Chinook is... | |
