Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos?


I have used a Helikon for about 4 years and it is beginning to show its age. I thought I would either try the new Kleos or move up the ladder to the Skala. Does anyone have information about the Kleos or read a review?

Thanks.

Jonathan, thanks for your regular polite, informative and objective postings, they are so welcome here!

Are there any plans on a successor of the Titan i, or are there no public-conform news yet?
Thanks very much, Jonathan!
As someone who has a Helikon Mono for some years and would like to buy a Kleos, i would also like to ask for your activity in mono cartridges, even if it is a little off topic here.
You have started with fantastic mono cartridges some years ago, used a modern stylus of the Titan for the Helikon and Titan mono cartridges and showed up that it is fantastic for mono playback.
At this time the cheaper Dorian mono cartridge disappeared. Here in Germany i see a little but enthusiastic mono "scene", but most of them invest not much in mono playback, even if there stereo playback system is quite expensive.

How do you see the mono market? Is there any activity in the future in this regard?

Thanks very much!
Dear Jonathan and others using a Lyra Erodion stepup,

what can you tell about the sonic characteristic changing with th use of an Erodion for a Lyra Kleos? I have with the latest Klyne 7LX/P and a Shindo Monbrison two full-function preamps with good MM and MC phono stages.
What can i expect with the Erodion?
May i ask once again for the changes that i can hear with the use of an Erodion SUT for a Lyra Kleos cartridge?
