Lyra Helikon


There is a special low output version of the Lyra Helikon available, the " SL ".

Did anyone with a premium phono stage listened to it ?
Or owns it ?
Can anyone describe the

s o n i c a l

differences between the regular one and ths " SL " type ?

( Please NO technical discussion, I know this ...)

Cheers

Thomasheisig, if I can ever get my Clavis DC to wear out I will go with the SL in my Rockport into a Vendetta SCP2-T.....The Clavis DC is going to be four years old in March which is setting some sort of record according to Carr and Perkins both.....My partner, John Curl, had a blowout on his Clavis today and will run over and pick up the SL in a couple of weeks as Immedia is out of stock on these...John has the updated Vendetta in his Blowtorch preamp....Output BTW is .22mV.....Hope I get the same sort of service out of the SL and maybe the vacuum hold down on the Rockport has something to do with that.....Oh, Allen advised he thought the SL sounded a touch better than the regular one as long as you have the gain to handle such a low output....Hope this helps.....
