Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?

I heard an Ortofon Black some time ago.  It did sound very good.

If you don’t fing love the DELOS something is wrong. New recordings are awful, and most are pressed horribly and warped. stick with old, clean ,not scratched up , original used records and you’ll be much happier.

What is your system??

I'd agree with others that it's slightly tipped at the top end.  I owned a Delos for many years, admittedly loved it during this time but until I compared with other MC's, I had no idea that it was slightly etched.  I listened to Transfiguration and Benz carts that were much more neutral and now own a Transfiguration. Just my opinion and experience. 

The older recordings sound great, better than they ever have.  I have never had a cartridge track like this one.  My old vinyl sounds new.  I am thinking that it is just so revealing that newer recordings are just really overdone somehow.  When I put on an old living stereo, it just sounds so analog, beautiful.  when I listen to a reissue, it sounds very Hi Fi'ish to my ears at least.  Maybe I need a different type of cartridge for these as I do have two Benz the Glider and a Ref wood body but they just do not trck like this one.  Not even close.

My system is as follows

Merlin loudspeakers cardas golden reference speaker cables
MC275
Technics 1200G
Pass labs X1 and Xono
