Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos?

Jonathan,

Would the new lyra cartridges continue to have a hole drilled in the body, allowing for fast mounting on the Centroid arm?

Thanks

Gordon

I am using a Delos on a Origin Live Aurora with Encounter arm and I am having no issues. Setup is critical. 1.76 VTF and a fair amount of antiskate. Antiskate is imporatant to get right. VTA with the tone arm about level or slightly tail up, adjusted by ear. I listened to Lucinda Willams Live album last night and really enjoyed it. I felt about as close to being there as possible. I'm very happy with the Delos so far.

I'm using the Skala on a Unify 9" arm, mounted on a Clearaudio Performance drive, with a motor regulation.
So far, I could say it outperforms many combinations that I listen to (I was working with a major distributor having Clearaudio, Lyra, EMT, Brinkmann, Koetso and sometimes other cartridges in stock). Especially the Clearaudio don't have any chance, maybe except the DaVinci. The Koetsus sound too dull but have lots of body.
Recently a friend of mine bought Kleos, on his Jelco arm (which I think is inferior to the Unify, although it's a 12"), mounted on a Dr. Feickert Blackbird. I was thrilled by the sound, but couldn't make a one to one comparison.
Fact is: the Skala is not a full bodied sounding cartridge, but its transparency, sweet treble, sound stage and mor are outstanding. Question is, does the Kleos which seems to have similar virtues, sound as good, but maybe with more body?

If yes, I'll place an order tomorrow!

Cheers,
Dan.

Anyone tried using using the KLEOS w/ the Rega RB700 ?

I'm using a Kleos on a rega rb1000. On my rega p9 I'm using one 2 mm spacer and a fair amount of antiskate.
