In my experience the TSD-15 sounds best with an appropriate SUT. I have heard it direct through MC phono (really good ones) and through good SUT, the SUT way sounds way more natural and balanced. Whereas Kleos doesnt pose that restriction IMO.
Lyra Kleos vs versus the EMT TSD 15. Thoughts?
I'm considering the Lyra Kleos and the EMT TSD-15. Curious to hear from those who own or have heard the Kleos and the EMT TSD 15. They both get great reviews, though the EMT is Class A and the Kleos is Class B in Stereophile's reccomended components list. The EMT has about .5 mv higher output, so that would indicate to me that their is more wire wrapped around the coil, indicating not quite as responsive of a cartridge. Either one is going on a Michell Gyro SE that currently has an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. Using an Esoteric E-03 phono stage with a Bryston 4B-SST amp and BP-26 preamp.
