Klyne Audio Arts SK-5 Manual

Hi,
Relatively new here, I just came into possession of a Klyne SK-5 preamp. It is in amazing condition for its age (1984) and is a very welcome addition to my system.

The unit did not come with a manual and I am having a very difficult time locating one. The phono stage requires the correct setting of 2 banks of 10 (for each channel) dip switches for load impedance/capacitance. Without the manual, I am having trouble setting up the phono stage correctly (too many combinations, without a guide to the dip switch settings.

if anyone has a manual (an extensive web search turned up empty) calls and emails to Klyne go unanswered and their website is minimal at best. I am willing to compensate anyone who has this manual or chart to set the dip switches, for their time and efforts.

Thank you for taking the time to review my post...

There’s a Klyne-7 manual

I believe the phono setting will be the same.

Just wondering if you came up with the needed information?  I have an SK-6 with phono stage and a manual.  Presuming the settings are the same, I should be able to help.  Please let me know.

I’ve recently tried in vain to contact Klyne Audio Arts.  They still have a website and an operational phone and I have left several messages but they won’t return my calls.  I can only assume their demise is imminent.  It’s a shame as their products are indeed works of art.  Nothing lasts forever. . .

Thanks ~ Ron,
i did eventually find a manual for the SK-5 from a local (Buffalo) owner I met at an audio shop. If anyone else need one, let me know and I can scan/email to you.

not sure about Klyne Audio Arts, as you mentioned calls and emails go un-answered. I heard a rumor Stan Klyne was ill, again just a word of mouth rumor so take that for what it's worth.

Thanks again for your offer to help!

Hi from Italy,
I have a klyne 7lx line preamplifier with one of the music module that is not working and since it is sealed no one can fix it. Has anyone been able to get in touch with Klyne? My emails have not been answered, I think they are definitively out of business. I probably will have to sell it for spares, pity!!
Thanks
