The Boston Audio Design mats are decent. 
Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?
Okay, I might have been a little over excited.  It is definitely ONE of the best cartridges I have ever heard.

Oh My gosh.  Something just happened.  This is quite amazing.  Now everything sounds amazing.  The lower mids just filled in appropriately.  Just like that.  By far the best cartridge I have ever heard.

When I listen to the Lyra, it makes me think that many recent recordings, and recent reissues(not all) are purposely remastered somewhat hot knowing that most cartridges are in fact rolled off.  I personally have not heard many cartridges with thi...

The glider does a lot of things right. Are they the end all be all, no, but there are not many of those.

I am going back and forth between my Benz Ref s and the Delos.  Both are great cartridges in their own right.  Let me know how the SME works out for you.  Did you listen to the 15?  If so, what did you think was the difference?  I still like that ...
