Linn Akiva or Lyra Skala ?

Dear Pani: I heard in my system the Skala and I own the Akiva and I like more the natural music color and agresiveness that exist in the live music that the Akiva shows than the Skala, this one is a little in the lifeless side against the Akiva.

I don't heard yet in my system the Kleos but I heard the Titan i and in other audio systems too. The Titan is very good performer and better than the Skala ( is has to be for the price. ) but I can't say against the Kleos.

IMHO you can't go wrong with the Akiva.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

If the Akiva has soldered leads, you may not be able to use them on tonearms that have fixed headshells or dedicated cable from pin to base of tonearm.

Thanks guys. Leicachamp, I am waiting eagerly to hear from you regarding the Miyabi vs Kleos.

Raul, thanks for the valuable input, have you ever tried the Linn tonearm ? How good are they ?

Pany, You can take a look at the new Linn/Lyra/Scantech cartridge - Kandid.

Dear Pani: Not in my system but other systems, the Ekos ( I think is the model ) seems to me very good and obviously a very good match with the Akiva.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
