Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage

Hello all,

I have had Klyne Audio Arts system 7 line stage and a phono preamp for more than 20 years. I love the sound of my system and I'd like to use both Klyne units as long as possible. I am 67 and still working but I am going to retire soon. If I need to update my system before I retire, I feel it is the time now. Apparently, Stan Klyne is out of business. Is there anyone who could maintain or repair Klyne equipment now? If I need to replace my line stage, what preamp do you think would be the closest to the sound Klyne preamps produce. I'd like to keep it below $10,000.

I am thankful to anyone who responds.

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,

My reply may be too late for you but klyne audio rebuilt my preamp last year (2024) and I talked with Stan.

I did speak to Klyne too, but he did not accept to build a new pre-amp for me. Mine was serviced 5-6 years ago (updated to the latest version), so I did not think I should send it again. It is still fully functional.

Thak you very much for your response. This was very nice of you.

All the best,
