Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage

I had a Klyne 7.0 Series stand alone Phono preamp for some years. It was a beautiful piece of equipment and had a very natural presence.

Ultimately, I was downsizing all the iterations of phono preamps I had and landed on keeping the 3 box Aesthetix Io instead- -A little more excitement and depth.

I would like to try the FM Acoustics 122 II sometime in my system to see what the comparison might be to the memories of the Klyne.

I could actually live with the Klyne for ever. If one ever comes up again I may buy it. The problem is that the Klyne is hard to find- some might wonder if he is still in business based on the presence of the brand.

At the time, I did not have my Beveridge speakers- I wonder how the Klyne would sound with them now?

Lewm,

It is difficult to shy away from the jewel like quality of the Klyne brand. For solid state it is hard to beat. Some will argue that SS is the only way to do mV phono stages. On paper I might agree, tubes add noise which for some is unbearable- I get that. For me I stuck with tubes. There is something artificial about some SS phono stages. Klyne is very good at natural presentation. The Quicksilver is a great pre.

I have not heard the latest crop of five or six figure SS phono stages ... I would like to- maybe Pani went in a different direction?
