Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage

Klyne’s products have a pretty good reputation and usually sell quickly. I’d say buy the 6 and do a comparison and if it’s a no go then resell.
I have a 6PE stand alone phono and although I think it’s excellent (I bought it used for $700) I compared it to a friend’s BAT (5K something or other) in his system and I thought the BAT sounded a hair better. The BAT is likely in the range of phono amps you mentioned.

I owned a Klyne 7PX5.0 and thought it was the best phono stage I have ever heard. I have also owned more expensive phono stages from BAT and Walker Audio. The Klyne sounds incredibly natural. It won't stun you with bass or sparkling highs, it just sounds like real music instead of HiFi.
As others have said here, Klyne's are hard to find on the used market. If you get one, and don't like it, you will have no problem selling it.

Dear JMcgrogan,  So I am wondering why you sold your Klyne?  I find my 6LX to be great as a line stage and maybe not as good as my best sounding tube phono stages, but maybe only because I cut corners on having Stan Klyne upgrade my phono.  As I said, I now wish I had asked him to max it out.  I think the 5.0 version, the one you had, is probably his best.

lewm, financial hardship is why I sold the Klyne. When I lost my job about 5 years ago, I downsized drastically.
I am working again now, and have recovered enough to have a very nice system, but not as expensive as my old big rig of yesteryear.
I don’t know if I would ever have enough consumer confidence, or stupidity, to spend that much $$$ on audio gear again.
Today I use a Allnic H1201 as a phono stage, which is very nice. I wish I could say that I compared it directly to the Klyne 7PX5.0, but I haven’t, nor can I imagine that day coming.

We're even.  You wish you had not had to sell your Klyne, and I wish I had been willing to allow Stan Klyne to max out mine.  The Allnic also interests me. Without trying to compare it to your Klyne, how do you like the Allnic, perhaps compared to some other tubed unit you may have owned? Thanks.
