Hi,
I purchased a second-hand Lyra Delos to be used with a new Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace. I had the Delos checked out soon after purchase and everything appeared to be acceptable however my turntable dealer has been in the process of setting everything up for me and reached out to say that the suspension on the Delos looks to be very low and may well be at the end of its usable life. I've read that Lyras tend to be quite low running but as you can see from the attached photo the dealer sent me, it's extremely low. They've set the arm up to minimise the issue as far as possible (fractional tweak of the VTA and running it towards the lighter end of the tracking force range) but it does look worrying low and wonder what might happen on an LP with even a slight warp.
A quick search online and I've seen a couple of photos from other Delos owners where it appears that theirs is also sitting extremely low so am hopeful any Lyra owners here can offer their thoughts. Many thanks.
