Levinson 320S Phono Module vs. Klyne 7PX

If you are able to put more hours on the Levinson (200 plus would be logical), please do another A/B between the Levinson and the Klyne and let us your impressions after the Levinson has had time to break in.
.
The comments of bright and tinny are consistent with a SS unit lacking sufficient break-in although it might just be the sound of the Levinson.

You can get the Purist Audio Phono Stage break-in CD (inexpensive) and use it to run your Levinson Phono stage 24/7 with the CD player on repeat and break it in within a matter of a couple of weeks or less.
.
The loading on your Cartridge will make a significant difference in the sound. In general, the higher the load, the more pronounced the highs will be come until they get hot and sibilant.
.
It would be well worth it to get several resistors with varying loads and experiment to find the sweet spot in your system with the Airy3. Did you get the Copper or Silver coiled version of the Airy3 ?
.
I would not do the resistor trials until the Levinson is broken in.
