The Kronos may be the best turntable in the world. I have no idea, as I have not heard it in a controlled audition.
But I do know that Peter Breuninger's Kronos review is logically flawed and intellectually dishonest. Please see post #222 at http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?18367-Introspection-and-hyperbole-control/page23
The review is a big joke comparing 3 TT based on memories & other people systems . I have heard the Kronos Pro . It's great for its price point & it certainly didn't whack the AFO. Good but certainly not better . Well I m keeping my AFO
