A Lyra Kleos moving coil cartridge brand new and unused and unopened in its box.
This was ordered two months ago from the NZ importer.
These are custom made one at time to order by Lyra Japan.
During the wait for it to be built and delivered I bought something else taking me in a different direction.
Therefore, I am looking to sell this brand new and not even taken out of its box cartridge.
The cartridge box has only been opened for the attached photos.
Proof of purchase can be provided to the buyer.
Selling for $$2750.00 so save over $1000.00 off the new price and avoid the wait time.
Free tracked worldwide shipping.
Please see my excellent Audiogon feedback over the last 15 years.

The Kleos is the lowest cost Lyra cartridge to feature the full fledged Ogura manufactured boron canilever and coil system with Lyra original line-contact (3 x 70um) stylus. This is similar to what is employed on even the most expensive Lyra models.
Nevertheless, the most important element if the new Kleos is the sound. We firmly believe that the Kleos is capable of extracting more information from the vinyl grooves than its predecessors, and that the reproduction of music is both more dynamic, more detailed, and more natural than the models preceding it. We also are of the opinion that the Kleos will set a new standard for sonic performance at its price point.
Today there are only a small handful of master cartridge builders in the world, and Lyra's Yoshinori Mishima belongs to this elite group of individuals that are capable of crafting the highest level MC transducers on the planet. His assistant Akiko Ishiyama, who has undergone several years of apprenticeship, is also involved in the building process leading to each Kleos. The Kleos is not only hand made, but each cartridge is listened to extensively and "voiced" by the master cartridge builder, like the finest musical instruments.
