I recently demoed the Etna against the Kleos and I was blown away by the difference. The Etna by comparison just revealed so much more information off the vinyl than the Kleos that it made the Kleos sound almost one dimensional. And I know the Kleos is a great cartridge, it's just the Etna is an incredible experience. Wide, dynamic and immersive. I had just had the Kleos installed on my tonearm and asked if I could still have the Etna switched out. Expensive yes, but if you are hardcore about your system it's a must have. Go listen to it if you can.
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,
