Lyra Delos vs EMT TSD 15


I heard the EMT at In Living Stereo in NYC. Very transparent. I've read good things about the Delos, and it's a bit cheaper than the EMT. Anyone have or have had both who can compare the two?

The myth is that all EMT T(X)DS 15 are the same. This is not
true because the new suspension and stylus are designed
meanwhile. The stylus is designed for the records (vinyl)
not for the material for cutting the grooves. It is now
called 'fine line'. Gyger II (aka Van den Hul) is abandoned.
Reto Andreoli was the first to criticize Van den Hul stylus
shape as inadequate for the records but only few payd attention.
I own the new 'golden' XSD 15 which tracks much better
(70 microns with 2,5 g) and sounds much better then
LZI or Shiraz ( Roksan version of the 'old' EMT with Gyger II ).
EMT wants obviously to keep the old myth a life.
Dear Syntax, I had no idea that I prefer 'dull, slow and
anemic sound'. Thanks for the info. But you have
obviously no idea how the new EMT 'fine line' sounds.
Besides it is a German product , German traitor!
