Klyne 6PE: comments ?


I (relatively) seldom see feedbacks on Klyne products, though thye're always very positive.
what about a Klyne 6PE ? is there anybody out there who can describe and "review" this phono stage ?

I owned a Klyne 7PX3.5.5 for many years and it was superior to nearly anything I knew. Really, really good. Klyne never gave them to reviewers, he simply was not mad to be a part of that kind of business.
The 6PE is also a very good one, simply a step below the t series. It is not the typical dry transistor sound Pass delivers for example, Klyne is one of the very, very few who closed the gap between transistor and tube sound.
The 6 is also adjustable got many cartridges and is one of the very, very, very few which can be adjusted to 47kΩ without the usual dead and boring sound most serve when they are used with that load (=no damping, you hear the cartridge the way it was designed).
The problem is generally, that most do not understand what their System does. They compensate it with the hope to find a unit which was MSRP $40.000,-- for $2500,-- WITH great reviews AND a lot of thumbs up in forums.
Unfortunately this is very rare :-)
Top Phonostages are very rare, no matter how many there are out there. When you don't know what to do, go for a Wheat, each of them is Reference, Signature, Super Signature, Reference Signature and - of course - always ultimate. More than that, a Game changer. :-)
