LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING

Get a Shelter 901mk2 or Shelter Accord. Even a Dynavector XX2 mk2 is good. You will be happy.

Btw, I have heard the Delos sounding shrill, thin, digital as well as nice & analog. You can't do anything now with it if it is not sounding your way. It has a certain character that some can't take. You won't like a Kleos either. 

Yeah I wouldn’t delete the thread either. It’s important for Audiogon members to historically note who the OP is. Let it stand, very informative.

This thread is sad. Ones opinion seems to matter above all others. 

The Delos is an excellent cartridge.  It may be one of the best at that price.

As someone who runs both a Shelter 7000 and Lyra Kleos, I can say w/o hesitancy that I love both. The presentations are much different and that why I love them - Shelter is smooth and laid back while the the Lyra has more immediacy and slam.
