Lovely items, beautifully made, and sound wonderful. I haven't heard any examples recently, but I have heard historical examples. The first UK distributor was a local -long gone- company to me Audio Dimensions. They made speaker stands, isolation platforms and were involved with Shan Acoustics.
Klyne circuit boards are so beautiful you can get glass top plates to view them.
I think they are still trading. Maybe try one of their American retailers, ask them. Must say its bad form to not reply to emails though.
These guys seem to deal with Klyne in the US http://www.sorasound.com/
This thread says a bit more, looks like Klyne are no longer a retailed brand but a bought from maker direct brand http://www.usaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=796

Here is an old pricelist from the UK distributor - long ceased trading - but a useful guide none the less.

I believe the original UK distributor was Absolute Sounds. I had a Klyne pre-amp to audition and write up for the mags back in the 80s. The main man came to visit and chat.
Nice pre-amps.
Any luck Al? I know someone who has recently bought a new Klyne preamp. I can ask him if you like.
