Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge?

I ordered a Lyra Dorian instead of the Lyra Delos because a sales rep at the company I called said there was really no difference in sound quality so the Dorian would save me some money. I would appreciate it if anyone who is familiar with these cartridges could let me know if the Delos is the better cartridge. My turntable is a VPI HW-19 MK-3 and the tonearm is a Audioquest PT-6. Thanks,Montgomery

Morning.
Even with trade-in programs and retipping cartridges are very expensive in the long run. $5k turntable that will last for 30 years with minor repairs is okay but middle of the range, nothing really to talk about cartridge for $1.5k is not. For $1.5k it should be a masterpiece. How much does it cost to produce? $100?

You can get Dorian for about $800 plus shipping from the UK.
Nor am I sure why she made those comments.

So, dealers mostly lie in one way or another, so do people here. Let the paranoia reign with Elizabeth taking the lead.

We don't give a damn about currency fluctuations, cost of fuel, raw materials etc. We want excellent fairly priced products and will not listen to any kind of "business excuses". This is all about enriching themselves at our expense feeding on our audiophile sickness.

That was an excellent advertising by Lyra. And it was free. Now everyone go buy something from them, money no longer matters because they deserve it.
