Is the Lyra Klios out in the states yet.

I've used the new Lyra Kleos for about 2 months now, and it is quite wonderful: very musical, with a good balance between detail and warmth. I've had Helikon, and Titan, and I do believe this to be superior to both (and at a very fair price). It is also dead quiet in my system. I know that Kleos is part of the newest generation of Lyras, and from my perspective it's a definite move forward. I'd be quite interested in other people's perspectives.

I too have had mine about 2 months, they are slow in coming. I had to wait about a month. I had a Delos and the dealer allowed me a 30 day trade up period and I am so glad I did. He tells me he has a waiting list, so I am glad I got in when I did. Jsaah, I am suprised that you feel it is better than the Titan because I really considered a Skala instead. That makes me feel even better about the Kleos. What table are you using?
But back to the Kleos answer, it is a wonderful cartridge and it has the Lyra detail without an analytical sterility found in some carts. The musical presentation is so revealing of the emotion in the music. I seldom turn on my CDP anymore.If your considering one get on a waiting list, if you change your mind the dealer will have back sales to take it off your hands.

Theo, I have my Kleos mounted on a Graham Phantom II. My turntable is an Immedia RPM2 which I've had for years. I'm tracking at 1.7 grams after a bit of experimentation. The TItan is a fine cartridge for sure, but to my ear, the Kleos is quieter and less analytical. I'm an acoustic bass player, and the Kleos presents a wonderfully clear, full bass with tons of harmonics. Glad you're enjoying yours!

Thanks for that, I don't think they are in the UK till next year.
When I had an Argo I, I had a listen to the Delos & thought it very good, in the end I went for a Skala, which is very very good. However I feel the Delos wasn't that far behind & given that the Klios will be close in price to the Skala, may well better it by quite some Margin.
