| Kleos Sibilance Had to read it, thanks.So, based on my testing/experience and yours I can conclude that it is the arm/cart interaction. As I have stated to some I had some issues, including sibilance, with the Shelter and just went up on the VTF. Can't do that wi... | |
| Kleos Sibilance So I have about 38 hours on it using 40min/LP as a multiplier.Put the Dynavector P75 MkII in place of the GCPH. Surprisingly it sounds pretty good with the Kleos. Has a peak someplace around 1-2k which makes it sometimes sound a bit lowfi but this... | |
| upgrade phono stage ? My PP2 had a presence peak. Assuming this is normal, I would upgrade that so you can hear what a better cart has to offer.What's the budget for a phone stage? Personally not a big fan of Rega, but I don't think I have heard the Rega Phono. | |
| Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound? Tom6897, If you will drink good Scotch you will not need ice. | |
| New Lyra Delos wheres the bass? The Delos and the Kleos are different. They are definitely warmer than previous Lyra's. | |
| Kleos Sibilance Concerning the Benz LP argument, let's don't forget that cables really can make a big difference due to changes in capacitance, etc.So at least 3 people have mentioned the phono stage, both here, on the telephone, and my dealer via email. (did tal... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Vpihw, I will continue to break it in. Will count the hours after dinner. Was going to call you folks today but did not get to it. So, you do not think the 10.5i will work better with the Kleos?Turned up the heat.If this is Mr. W. I am replying to... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Hey Folks,"Try weighting the headshell with a 5gm nickel & rebalancing the counterweight."Did the Blu-Tack to the headshell trick. It did help. Still too much sibilance but it is better. Also, it has dampened things a bit which was needed. Thi... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Myles, I will keep breaking it in. Need to add up the time on it. What do you folks do, say 40 min/lp times # of lps played? And yes, it really is actuating the sibilance. As an example the Featuring Norah Jones on a Dorian/JMW 9T did not have the... | |
| Kleos Sibilance "A 0.05 gram difference in effective mass is insignificant."A Helikon is 8 g and the Kleos is 8.8 g.Just for clarity, I am not saying Bill is wrong about the arm being the issue. I just don't understand. My dealer had a Helikon on a 9 sig for prob... | |
| Kleos Sibilance "Try weighting the headshell with a 5gm nickel & rebalancing the counterweight."Yeah, thought about something like that. I have some Blu tack or similar. I might stick some of that on the headshell and rebalance. The Kleos is 8.8g which is hea... | |
| Kleos Sibilance "Bill identified himself as a dealer in his first post in this thread. At the bottom of his post it says "Dealer Disclaimer". That seems pretty transparent to me, but English can be a funny language. "Yes but many folks come into these things in t... | |
| Kleos Sibilance "If you're going to make a change, ensure it is a legitimate upgrade not just a longer iteration of the same design."Which is why I asked.Aren't you a dealer of other brands? | |
| Kleos Sibilance Thanks for all the replies.I realize the arm is not state of the art. Remember though, the Signature is quite different from the normal 9". Not sure it was anything I did but I am hearing less of it. On the other hand, sibilance bothers me so I wo... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Thanks for your reply.1.8 did not solve it and I have checked the alignment. I brought the rear of the arm down as well. It may be less pronounced but it is still there. Otherwise the Kleos is quite nice. It has 3 or 4 hours on it now. I do not he... |
