Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5

thanks, I've seen the Klyne on ebay -too expensive :( - and I guess Herron would be too expensive as well, even used. you must consider that shipping cost from USA are very high and then there are taxes and so on, it is generally about 25-30% more than price. so a 2000$ piece could easily cost 2700$...

dealing with overseas product I often read about K&K but I could not find a site to look for informations. do you have a link or whatever ?
I guess they are very expensive too, aren't they ?

Daniele, Note that the Klyne 7PX is located in the Far East. Thus there is no problem with high shipping costs from the US to Italy, if that helps.

K&K Audio. Using Google or any typical search engine, you should be able to find it. I use several of their kits in my DIY modifications of existing equipment, and the owner, Kevin Carter, is very very helpful and courteous (especially considering all the questions he answers probably on a daily basis). However, you may find that his top of the line phono stage is more than $2000, even as a complete kit. You can buy a partial kit, wherein you supply your own chassis, etc, for much less however. Then too, you may save on taxes or customs if you buy a kit rather than an assembled unit. I have actually had an eye on the K&K Maxx phono stage for quite some time. I would bet it's superb.

The Klyne MC stage The Sk-2 is legendary. I have a modified 5a and it is kick ass.
