Just a quick question..... roughly how long do Lyra cartridges last?
Many thanks James
Many thanks James
Is that a normal wait time for the SL? It’s one of a couple carts I have shortlisted as my possible next change.Not sure on that because the cantilever was gone on my Delos before I had a chance to wear it out. They can be rebuilt though and there is a decent program in place for that. I opted to wait for a Kleos SL instead which will probably take 6 months but it'll be worth the wait!
Even the paper underneath looks clean
Possibly @Mike Reed may have as good an idea as anyone?
I have been assured it is not a rebuild. I think they were discontinued when the Kleos was introducedThat said, if it had been rebuilt (by anyone at all), the paper would have been replaced, and as it is a discontinued model, although I am not sure for how long.
I used a lyra evolve for a long time and a Titan i for an even longer time until I damaged it, had it completely rebuilt in France ( expensive but superb) and still plays very well also use the excellent lyra atlas. I guess I have been using lyra's for twenty years on PT Annie, Wilson Benesch and TW Acoustic Raven AC.
With considerate use ( clean records and handling with cotton gloves) I would not be at all surprised if they gave in the order of 2500-3500hrs
Anamightysound--Not cheap, plus vat now.May I ask who in France rebuilt your cartridge? I use and am very happy with a Delos, but I think it might need come attention.
Cheers.
