No, that price is sans tonearm.
The "upgrade to full Sparta" thing is pretty cool! I love products that you can upgrade, avoiding the loss of selling the old piece in the used market...
We'll see if we can get one in next month!
This is just the full Sparta cut in half, isn't it?
Seems to be.....minus counter rotational platters.

I have heard the Sparta and its big brother and there is no evidence of hum or vibration caused by the two platters or anything else. In fact the opposite is true as the 1/2 Sparta is a compromise at a lower price and the table can be upgraded to the full Sparta at a later date.

If I lived in North American the full Sparta would be my turntable.
lucky you!! Kronos full is a great TT..
but I cannot imagine it is a compromise buying a 15.000 TT !!
Is it really so much the difference between 0.5 & full Kronos ?? have you audioned to them in exactly same setup side by side ?? I mean arm, cart, phono, amps, speakers, room, programm ??
Manos..
I would love to directly compare the Sparta 0.5 to the SME 20/3. They appear to be very similar in design and price, though the former is upgradeable.
