If you are in doubt about which version of Kleos that will work best in your system, please go with the regular Kleos.\u003cbr\u003eThe Kleos SL may provide extra pure and pristine sound from an audio system that is optimized for a low-impedance, low-output cartridge. However, this may be accompanied with a lesser level of energy and power.\u003cbr\u003eLyra nevertheless has decided to offer SL models, as built-to-order at a 10% surcharge, for those who are confident that they can extract the benefits from such a low-output MC phono cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS FOR KLEOS SL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJonathan Carr\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilder:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYoshinori Mishima (final build, testing), Akiko Ishiyama (preliminary build)\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMedium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance, low-output moving coil cartridge\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLyra-designed long-footprint variable-radius line-contact nude diamond (3um x 70um profile, block dimensions 0.08 x 0.12 x 0.5mm), slot-mounted\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever system:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolid boron rod with short one-point wire suspension, directly mounted into cartridge body\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSingle layer, 6N high-purity copper, square-shaped chemically-purified high-purity iron former, 2.7ohms self-impedance\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput voltage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e0.25mV@5cm\/sec., zero to peak, 45 degrees (CBS test record, other test records may alter results)\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e10Hz ~ 50kHz\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e35dB or better at 1kHz\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eApprox. 12x10-6cm\/dyne at 100Hz\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVertical tracking angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20 degrees\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"12\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"404\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"404\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"0\" height=\"79%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"400\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge body:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOne-piece machining from solid 7075 alloy billet, with reduced-surface higher-pressure headshell contact area, partially non-parallel shaping, phase-interference resonance-controlling mechanism, and body threaded directly for mounting screws\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge mounting screws:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2.6mm 0.45 pitch JIS standard\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from mounting holes to stylus tip:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e9.5mm\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge weight (without stylus cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8.8g\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended tracking force:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1.65 ~ 1.78g (1.72g recommended)\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load directly into MC phono input:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDetermine by listening,\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load via step-up transformer:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUse a step-up transformer designed for 2 - 3 ohms cartridge impedance.
