The Lyra Delos is a medium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance moving coil phono cartridge that utilizes innovative engineering to enhance LP playback performance. Designed by Jonathan Carr and built by Yoshinori Mishima and Akiko Ishiyama, it addresses common issues seen in conventional cartridges that can restrict sound quality. The unique body structure paired with a pre-angled damping system allows for optimal alignment of the signal coils with the magnetic circuit when tracking force is applied, preventing misalignment that typically limits resolution and dynamic range. It features a Namiki microridge line-contact nude diamond stylus, a solid boron cantilever, and is constructed from anodized aluminum to minimize resonance. The cartridge is equipped with high-purity copper coils and boasts improved performance metrics across various audio characteristics, demonstrating enhanced transient impact, dynamic range, and immediacy. It has a frequency range of 10Hz to 50kHz, with an output voltage of 0.6mV and recommended tracking force of 1.65g to 1.75g. Ideal for medium to medium-high mass tonearms, the Delos offers a sophisticated approach to vinyl playback, bringing out the details and musicality of records.
