    Cardas cross phono cable

    Does anyone know the resistance of the 1.25 MTR cardas cross phono cable. Din to RCA on an SMS V arm with lyra kleos. Have already tried e-mailing cardas and not heard a thing off them.

    purchase dilemma , kleos or skala

    Well, I got my Kleos yesterday . Imaging is much better than the Helikon it replaced. I know it is a cliché but I have heard things that were missing in action before, and what was there just sounds more natural. The surface noise is also a lot quieter. Worth every penny.

    Dre Thanks for clarifying. Mbovaird What t/t and arm are you using? I have just ordered the kleos, there is about a six week wait before I get it, don't know if you get that sort of delay over there in the USA. thanks to everyone who replied both in this thread and by pm.

    purchase dilemma , kleos or skala

    I had a listen to the dynavector Te Kaitora Rua before coming back to Lyra and this was tilted to the bass range compared to the helikon, which in my room was a bit too much. From what people are saying about the Skala the Kleos might be more suitable for my room.

    purchase dilemma , kleos or skala

    I am looking to replace my helikon and in my budget I can go with either the skala or the kleos. In the UK the skala is the more expensive (by £500), but the kleos is a newer design. The t/t is an SME 20/2 with V arm into nagra plp. I would be interested to hear peoples experiences / thoughts...

    Hi All

    Just found this forum by accident, had a read and thought it looked worth joining so here I am. Bit of background. First took an interest in hi-fi when I was still at school, (mid 1970's) saved my money and bought a Sony cassette deck ( Tc136sd) and a pair of headphones. Used that for a while...
