I've had the Delos since 2016, for the most part I have never looked back nor do I feel the need to. I have thought many, many times about the Kleos and I still do especially with the trade in Lyra program. But still a lot of money....and that is the only reason why I probably will not get a Kleos.
The Delos is a beast.......My point is not about the money, my point is about the sound of the Delos. If I really wanted the Kleos sound I would buy it.
The Kleos has a particular sound as does the Delos, both are excellent performers and extractors of sound. I've heard the Kleos and it keeps me interested but the Delos has pretty much everything I need.
I'm very confident my Nova II phono stage can handle the Kleos, but I am not interested in buying a $3K+ phono stage to pull 100% of everything the Kleos might do.
