Lyra Delos Settings

Agiacco - you would be best running through all the settings yourself. Although this is tedious you will learn a lot and it is really the only way to find the optimum set up in your system. Even if you found someone with an identical system, if their cartridge allignment or VTA is different then again you may end up with different results.
You may need to adjust VTA or revisit the settings if you alter the VTA to fine tune and double check your conclusions.

Jonathan - Your comments are always full of nuggets ( gold ).
Quick question, with my Marantz 7, it has enough gain ( and dynamics ) for cartridges from about .3 up. I prefer MC's that will run at 47k to avoid loading down and reducing the apparent gain. Odd thing is some MC's such as Denon 103 produce no sound at all, some sort of resonance for cartridges with higher internal impedance.
Do all the Lyra's work ok into 47k ?
What is the maximum capacitance that you feel is appropriate for a 47k load ?
I also use MIT cable extensively but am aware that it is quite capacitive. I've noticed that the more capacitive phono cables are they do timing better - are they acting as a capacitor block on the MC output ? Does this have any negative effect on cartridge performance from your point of view ?
Sorry - a few questions here.

Thanks.
