    My new Kronos Pro



    Putting it together...







    First impressions: smooth, silky and silent.

    The Kronos Pro is simply the best turntable I have ever heard. As good as the Kronos Sparta is, the Pro is better. Better separation, more natural decay and an overall smoothness. I won't say it's leaps and bounds better than the Sparta, because the Sparta is incredible - the best turntable I had ever had in my system by a large margin. But the Kronos Pro is better. It gives you everything the Sparta gives you and more.

    We see people on the audio Merry-Go-Round all the time. In my opinion, Kronos is a destination source.

    Count me as a VERY happy owner.

    A Kronos owner posted this today on the Kronos FB Page: "The sound spectrum and aural experience of Kronos elevates the listener to a realm of almost spiritual experience which is an Oriental Reality. Kronos offers a sound spectacular with a spectacular sound !!! Congrats from India ....."

    I couldn't have said it better myself.

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    This is a magnificent acquisition! It pains me a little to hear the Kronos because nothing sounds as good. And the WAY it sounds good is not subtle or esoteric. It sounds smoother, more musical, more real than the other really great stuff.

    Well said!

    Given the PITA factor and cost of tapes, I have to say my Kronos Pro is the greatest source I've ever heard - all things considered. It was the first time I heard the Kronos Pro at CES 4 years ago and it still is today.

    I have such a greater appreciation for the Kronos Pro now having it in my system. The affect of eliminating or almost eliminating all micro vibrations is amazing. There is such a natural decay to the instruments and a natural flow - no "stop/start" which is caused by micro vibrations.

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    Congratulations, Mike!!!!!
    That tonearm isn't bad either
    The only downside (that I can see/hear) of the Kronos is that you can't mount 2 tonearms at the same time. If you have the Black Beauty tonearm, you *can* have more than one wand, and easily replace them, so in effect, you can have several different cartridges mounted on different armwands, and just pop them in and out.

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    Glad your happy with what I think from hearing it once is a really great table . A well set up table at this level is a force of nature when it comes to music.

    Let us know what you think of it as time goes on mine still brings me wonder at how good it sounds. Had to smile at your tapes are PITA as they are sorta what the 1 and 0 crowd say about what you just bought.

    I always say anyone who has less records than me needs to try harder. Any one who has more than me is crazy and I hope crazy is a good think cause I am buying more every week.

    Enjoy if you have Delta Time play that on a good table that record shines

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    Congrats Mike - I'm envious

    I heard the Kronos at 2015 RMAF GTT Audio room as front end for YG Acoustics Sonia 1.2's. Arguably the best sound at the show. The sound was palpable.

    If I ever seriously consider a turntable this one would be on my short list.

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    Beautiful Mike , Congratulations to 076 from 083!!

    A great table for sure , I'm running it through its paces to get a sense of its attributes, it certainly shares many characteristics of outstanding suspended tables but as for how it fares vs. a TW Acustic Black Knight or a Kuzma XL4 .....stay tuned. The choice of arm may be the clincher in that little contest.

    Enjoy !!

    Are you doing a shootout at your place, Shodhan? If so, look forward to impressions! TW and Kuzma were the two other brands I was serious about before buying the Kronos.

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    I knew I should kept my big mouth shut Allen

    An outright shootout would take relocating the Kronos downstairs in the main system and I am somewhat reluctant given the size, weight & complexity of this beast . For now, I'm letting it settle in before I swap out the Kleos for an XV1t . I'll post impressions as soon as that is done. Undeniably a great table but very much Flavour of the Month right now in fickle analog circles . I'll just say that after many years of owning their tables, I remain in awe of the engineering and sonic credentials of Franc Kuzma and Thomas Wosnick....

    I agree with you about the TW tables Shodhan. I've never owned one but have been tempted. Jeff Catalano's rooms at shows always sound fantastic and he typically has a TW running.
    BTW, congrats on the Kronos. Only now realizing that you've got yourself one!

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    Can the Kronos go with arms like Kuzma 4 point with a Koetsu?

    I heard the Pro yesterday with a Graham Phantom Supreme and Audionote IO Gold. Extremely impressed. Not an analog guy (yet), but have been demoing stuff.

  28. #28

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    I have an interest in the Kronos + 4point combination, and I'll eventually get that pairing going, as the 4point is a personal favourite. I've talked briefly with Louis about this, and he said that it should be OK.

    Bonzo

    This question came up today with my Kronos dealer who was visiting . I have two 4Points on other tables. The issue is that tHe Kronos is a suspended table and there is some question as to whether the suspension could, (without modification), accept an arm assembly that heavy. I suggest the question be directed to Louis.

    Not so sure about that Mike, the 4Point weighs between 3 & 4 lbs . At the very least it might create a lopsided weight distribution to the far right corner

    And I asked Louis tonight and he said "sure, no problem."

    That IS good news Mike, thanks. I think a number of arms could be serious contenders , the Black Beauty is not without its own issues though cosmetically, I can see people making that choice. The 4Point, Phantom, Vertere , Triplanar and in particular, Helius arms are all serious contenders

    Re: My new Kronos Pro

    I ran into Louis at Munich 2019 and he gave me a new “cup” for the black beauty arm. He has another he wants me to try as well that I should be receiving in a couple of weeks. He’s experimenting with different materials in the cup section which the ball from the unipivot arm sits in.



    He also gave me a new record clamp to try. This one is made from a combination of walnut and maple as opposed to the standard metal one.



    The record clamp was immediately noticeable.
