Klyne with Clayton or Berning?

I'm getting preamp fever. Currently using a First Sound and switching it between the amplifiers. I'm tired of switching and need a phono stage as well. I'm thinking that a solid state pre is probably better with the Clayton 100's and wondered if anyone had tried the Klyne/Clayton combination. Just for grins what about a Klyne/Berning combo?

Supratek/Clayton is working just great for me,
I got music courtesy to Supratek and SS punch courtesy to Clayton :)

I went through a BAT VK-31SE, Threshold T2, Mark Levinson 38S, Krell KRC-HR, VAC Renaissance Mk II, Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS mk II and a BAT VK-50SE while I owned my pair of Clayton Audio M-100's. Of all these preamps, I preffered the BAT's. The 31SE was a bit more dynamic and powerful, the 50SE was a bit warmer and fuller.
FWIW, I camethisclose to trying a Klyne 7LX-3.5B also, but the timing and finacing didn't quite work out. Alas, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Cheers,
John

Dont know of anyone using the Klyne-Berning, but I had the First Sound + Berning, and it was pretty killer. Other have had success with Berning plus: CAT, Joule Electra, Supratek, Tron, andf Audio Note (UK).

If you ever do put Klyne+Berning together, pls be sure to tell us how it sounds!
