@anthos314 , Back off on your antiskating to 1.25 and see how it goes.
Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever
Hi everybody, first of all thanks for the very insightful tips I've been able to gather over years of thread reading.
Today I am finally starting my own thread to ask a question about a brand new Lyra Delos I received this week. This is my first ever cart over 1K and I was expecting something amazing.
Well, the sound is indeed amazing! Even though after 2h30 of cart usage I am still struggling to find some meat to the bones. Sound is VERY precise but I expect it to become even better as hours go by.
However, as soon as I started aligning the cart I found the cantilever went slightly to the left. I have asked my dealer about this and he said it was nothing to worry about but I was hoping to get somebody's opinion on the forum, maybe even Jonathan Carr's. I have included photos.
Thanks a lot for your help everyone!

@mijostyn , shouldn't the antiskate be increased if I want to avoid jumps forward? |
On what part of the record does the stylus skip? If it skips towards the lead out groove, then I would try a slightly higher anti skate ( this was happening on my Kleos on a few pressings, the fix was to increase very slightly the anti-skate). Remember, the Lyra’s do not track at a high VTF, as such they are probably a tad prone to anti skate issues. BTW, just because the stylus skipped on the record does not mean it has damaged the groove, it is possible, but not always. You should listen again once the anti-skate is dialed in correctly. |
I am sorry you are having so many issues that are no doubt diminishing your enjoyment of analog playback, but a record player should not have to be set up with NASA-level precision to perform reasonably well. Something is wrong and I suggest you call your dealer and have them straighten it out for you. Records should be playable with any in-the-ballpark turntable setup. |
