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 who 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 handmade, but each cartridge is listened to extensively and “voiced” by the master cartridge builder, like the finest musical instruments.

Behind EBI Audio and the Khumar low-output moving coil cartridge is Tariq Shafeeque—founder, designer, and engineer.

Raised on the sound of record players and driven by a lifelong love of vinyl, Tariq’s journey led from structural engineering to modifying turntables and cartridges, and ultimately to designing his own.

Today, that same curiosity and precision power EBI Audio’s mission: using modern engineering to deliver an unforgettable listening experience.

Turntable culture. Modern design. Pure musical intent.

What does active isolation actually change?
Neil Gader and Robert Harley spent time with the Seismion Reactio 2 to find out, and their findings appear in the April 2026 issue of The Absolute Sound.
The Reactio 2 isn't passive. It measures vibration in real time across every axis a component can move in, then generates equal and opposite forces to cancel it. The result, according to Harley: a wider and deeper soundstage, lower noise floor, sharper transient detail, and a tangible sense of air around each instrument.
Harley's closing line in his commentary says it plainly: "It doesn't happen too often in my line of work that I grieve the return of a review sample, but that was my reaction as the Seismion Reactio 2 went out the door."
