Klyne Audio Arts System 7 line stage

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,

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

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,

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.

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,

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.

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.

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. 

Yes, I've taken care of that.

Thanks for responding.

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
