Klyne 6PE: comments ?

Well, guys, you convinced me in the end.
I took it; when it comes I'll let you know my opinion, if you will.

Congrats! Please keep us posted on your findings.

Daniele_g,

Have you had a chance to listen to your new Klyne? How do you like it? May I ask how much these are going for on the used market now-a-days?

I remember hearing a Klyne (can't remember the exact model anymore) many years ago at my favorite audio dealer.... it left an outstanding and lasting impression on me, especially for being solid state.

I hope it is everything you want it to be and more!

No_regrets,

I've been listening to the Klyne for some days, now, but up to date it's been a struggle against hum. I live very near one of the italian TV broadcasting main stations and I've constant trouble with that. Now it looks like I've won the battle if not the war, by separating and twisting all the cables and looking for the right position and... well, that kind of things that put you off the idea of listening... :(
but now it's over or so it seems.
Well, and how does it sound ? Er... I must confess it seems a little (or more than a little) 'rolled off' in the trebles.
Great for all the rest.
I've found it at a very good price, i.e. about 900€, but I live in Europe (very different market from USA) and the unit was not born at 220V but it was modded by someone -and that reduces price (though I must tell that the seller didn't tell me, and had I known it before I would not buy it, regardless of price). So I don't know if that helps you, sorry...

For example, I own and love an ARC 100.2 power amp.

As an ARC fan, maybe the Klyne is not for you. I've owned a ARC Ref 3 preamp, and it was a bit thin for my tastes, though very detailed.

I must say that I am not surprised. I've always found that ARC gear tilts up the emphasis in the treble region. I am not a fan of ARC gear. That's why they make so many different flavors. :)
