Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?

Both Lyra preamp and phono stage sound great. I believe pre was Connoisseur 4.2.

They have a sweet sound without being edgy or harsh. As far as I remember Lyra phono doesn’t offer any adjustments. Great products!

Your impressions match mine on this pair. Simply sublime and a gorgeous portrayal. But in full disclosure: I’ve also owned half a dozen Lyra cartridges. My latest love is an Etna Lambda

Well, I know one of these! I have always read good things about the Lyra Connoisseur 4.3 and remember reading about the Trinity when it first came out. And the Robert Koda has a special place here in the system.

Was there Lyra Connoisseur 4.3? I used to own 4.0 / 4.2 SE version... but existence of 4.3 is quite new to me... In any case, excellent sounding gear...

I am no expert on this particular amp...but here is a link to a discussion around the 4.3...see post #67

Connoisseur Definitions 3.0 preamplifier - is it still among the best?

I would also really appriciate if Stig, Jonathan or Petr could inform me of the input sensitivity of the Lyra Connoisseur 3.0. The exact number on the output impedance from Jonathan or Stig would also be great. Warm regards, Roysen

Yes, the 4.2se was updated to the 4.3
