KLEOS
Moving Coil Phono Cartridge
The new KLEOS cartridge utilizes Lyra's latest "New
Angle" technology. The new
design allows the coils of the cartridge to stay aligned with the
magnetic circuit while the tracking force is applied. Designer
Jonathan Carr has discovered a way to maintain optimum alignment
at all times. This allows the KLEOS to track better; clearly
improving sound quality, particularly low-level resolution,
dynamic range, transient impact, and immediacy. This is no subtle
advance.
