Lyra Etna Versus Kleos

Hi,

I am considering upgrading from a Lyra Delos to a Kleo or Etna.

I have all ARC Reference gear, Vandersteen Treo speakers and Kuzma Reference table with 4 Point arm.

Has anyone had experience with the Kleos in comparison to the Etna? Is Kleos a step up from the Delos or not? Is the Etna a big improvement over the Delos?

Thanks,

Thank you for your input.

If anyone else has any thoughts it would be much appreciated. Any other Etna users out there? Anyone else that has heard it ?

Any others cartridges that reach its performance at a more reasonable price?

I listen primarily to classical piano,string quartets, and various chamber music. Some opera and jazz.

What I am after is a cartridge that will provide the best resolution, allowing me to follow the interplay of each individual instrument with life like imaging and tone.

Thanks Again,

P. Smith

Continuing the discussion, any comments on what is better at detail retrieval? 

Is the Etna better at detail retrieval than the Kleos?

Peter suggested the Atlas, but that is above my budget. I am being offered a new Kleos for $3000 or the Etna for $7000.

I am seriously considering buying the Etna now at $7000. I figure I will want to upgrade from the $3000 Kleos in two or three years, when who knows what the price will be for the Etna will be then.

Thanks,

P. Smith
