Lyra Etna Versus Kleos


Hi,

I am considering upgrading from a Lyra Delos to a Kleo or Etna.

I have all ARC Reference gear, Vandersteen Treo speakers and Kuzma Reference table with 4 Point arm.

Has anyone had experience with the Kleos in comparison to the Etna? Is Kleos a step up from the Delos or not? Is the Etna a big improvement over the Delos?

Thanks,

I had now a couple of chances to hear a direct shoot out
(performed by the German Lyra importer) of the Kleos, Etna and Atlas.
Last time it were the 3 SL versions.

All cartridges were mounted in the same tonearms and worked
with the same phono stage.

With all music examples the Atlas was the best and the Kleos had
to settle for position three. The Etna sometimes was closer to the
Kleos and sometimes closer to the Atlas.
