Don't. It will void the warranty of the cartridge. If yours is riding low, send it back to Lyra and they can adjust it.
Lyra Delos 'belly cover'
For a lack of a better description or name the 'U' shaped piece of material? / plastic? on the underside of my Lyra Delos cartridge is starting to fray. This cover is behind the boron whisker cantilever and covers the area where the 4 wires pass from the cart to the tonearm connector interface. So, the question is....I am debating removing this cover because it is starting to drag on my LP's. (other nude cartridges don't utilize the 'belly cover'.) Bad idea? Any thoughts on how to proceed in its removal? Thank You in Advance!!

I was always under the impression that it was a type of washi paper. The purpose is as a dust sheild for the motor and suspension. I imagine that it would be easy to cut away the free part and then scrape the balance off of the body. The trick is getting a new piece. You might just try speaking with Jonathan Carr at Lyra. He may just take care of the whole thing for you, or send you an appropriately sized piece of washi paper. Good luck. It's always better to do lots of research on these types of things and have a clear direction before wading in. |
Thank you for your replies. I have sent an email to the Lyra web site on record. [email protected] Hopefully I will receive an answer and will post their reply accordingly. (I'm sure I am not the only one with this question or issue). |
Quincy...you need to send Alasdair from Audioquest, (the Lyra distributor) an email and tell him what is going on. He will send all the info that you need to get this fixed. [email protected] |
