Lyra Kleos SL Phono Cartridge

The Kleos SL uses a single-layer coil for lower output and lower impedance, intended for a phono stage or step-up transformer with very high gain and extra-low noise; Lyra says it can deliver an especially pure, pristine sound, though with somewhat less energy than the standard-output Kleos.

No field-replaceable stylus; a worn cartridge is returned to the Lyra factory in Japan for a full internal rebuild, or traded in under Lyra's exchange/upgrade program, rather than fitted with a swappable stylus.
