Good amp for Klyne....


I have a Klyne SK-5A about to arrive. I've wanted a Klyne preamp for years, ever since I had a chance to listen to one many moons ago and the opportunity arose to lay hands on one. Just wondering from any other Klyne users what kind of power amps you've had good results with? I'll be driving Magnepan MG12's. Just wondering if there's any really synergistic pairings where the Klyne pre's can put their best foot forward.... thanks!

I am using Klyne System 7 with a 50W tube amp (Lectron) and Pro Ac Response 3.8 speakers. Recently, Stan Klyne upgraded my pre-amp to V4 which increased dimensionality and detail and added quite a bit of warmth. Now, musicality and believability of the presentation of my system are better than ever before.

Stan was very helpful in the process and I can say all the best about his service and the way he treated me. He keeps a low profile and does not participate in any discussions here or at AA, but his equipment sounds great.
My experience is with Klyne 7 series
When I owned Maggies I linked the Klyne with Jeff Rowland Monos. later I used different speakers and amps (Pass aleph, Atma-Sphere etc.), never had any matching problems with that Preamp. One of the very best Transistor units out there.
I agree wholely with all above comments as I had 6lx3p pre amp mated to vtl 225 monoblocks; Cary Slam 100 monoblocks and Manlay Reference monoblocks with no problems at all.
This was a basically a piece of wire with gain.
Another praise I can give is his phono board that was installed in my preamplifier was of the highest performance with many different loading selections for resistive and capitance loading for high/low moving coil cartridges of all types.
Any "Klyne-ophiles" out there that have a good understanding of how the normal and inverting outputs on the SK-5A work in relation to the normal/invert switch on the front panel? When the switch is in the "normal" position are both outputs in phase with each other, or does the switch control both outputs, swapping the phase of each at the same time, effectively keeping them out of phase with each other all the time? The manual is a little sketchy on this...
Dogmcd-If you don't get a reply I would call Stan Klyne directly and ask him this question;He is a very nice guy to talk audio;reminds me of Ralph from Atmasphere and Klaus from Odyssey.
