Lyra vs. Lyra

I have a Delos and an Atlas, and have auditioned the Titan i in my system. I would contend that the Delos is very close to the Titan i, and this would not be a productive upgrade. The new generation Delos/Kleos/Atlas are in a different league from the older generation. So in summary, I would not recommend a Titan i over a Delos or Kleos. The Titan i is just a little "smoother" than the Delos, but not enough to warrant the difference in price. The Delos is a remarkable cartridge at its price point! The Atlas, however, is amazing.

How can you rate it when you have opened a thread where you ask for
proper alignment, VTA, VTF because you have no idea about it and
whatever you do, it sounds always different? Don't you understand what
you hear? A lot replace that with the ability of reading price tags or
reviews (Product Placements) and the phantasy will work very well based
on that ...

What?!

I was wondering the same thing as Syntax when I read Dinster's opinion/advice regarding the Delos vs the Titan.

He's just getting back into vinyl after "30 years of CD" and in another thread from yesterday he asks, "What is the correct VTA for the Lyra Atlas?".

It seems Dinster has yet to hear either cartridge set up properly so his advice is useless.

Just my "opinion".

@Dinster

I can only say that it must be in your system. Because in my system, there is a HUGE difference between Delos and Titan i. And remember my Titan i have only played for about 10 houres or so.

The delos is a good cart. But the Titan i is in a hole other league and deffently the worth the money. And that is easy for me to say, because i have`nt payed it yet ;-)
