Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage

I had one decades ago.

I had one decades ago. Extremely well built and first class sound. Protect that investment with a proper PLC, like Core Power PLCs. I have an 1800, all my kit is plugged into it

Yes, I've taken care of that.

Thanks for responding.

I owned Klyne for many years in the past,  then I moved to tubes then when coming back to SS I discovered Rowland was similar in many respects to the Klyne gear.  I’d recommend you check it out. 

carey1110,

Thank you very much. I have never seen any Rowland in MN but I am sure their reputation is deserved. I'll research. Again, I appreciate your response.

If that Klyne is playing well I wouldn’t do a thing. Play it until the wheels fall off. You have a very nice system. I’d spend the money on your digital front end if the money is burning a hole in your pocket or cables. A friend loaned me a few of the knock off Nordost which I’ll be trying here soon so I’ll hold judgement until I get some time with them. Keep and enjoy your Klyne.

adg101,

O yes, it is playing very well and I love it - as one reviewer put it, it sounds "like clear spring water". However, I've had it for more than 20 years and when I purchased it, it was not new. I would like to use it until one of us dies and I am trying to figure out what I am going to do if the pre-amp dies first.

I hope you enjoy your cables as much as I am enjoying mine. I still can't believe it how much they improved the sound of my system.

Thanks for responding.

All the best,

I can offer two options - upgrade to the Klyne or I have one that we build 6SN7 tubes that I can sent do you to hear.

Happy Listening.

bigkidz,

What do you mean? My pre-amp was upgraded to the (latest) version 4 years ago, while Stan Klyne was still active. Did you mean you added 6SN7 tube(s) to the Klyne and made it better? Honestly, I doubt that. If you meant you had another  pre-amp with 6SN7 tube(s), I already have a NAT Plasma (with 16 tubes) and I   am not looking for another tube pre-amp. 

Thanks for your message,
