Kronos Audio Sparta Turntable

Kronos Audio Sparta Turntable

Kronos Audio Sparta is a simplified version of the ‘table that literally launched the company, the limited-editionKronos. The Sparta is not as wide as the Kronos and therefore able to accommodate tonearms 10 1/2″ long maximum. It uses the same suspension, DC motors and bearings as the Kronos, as well as the company’s signature technology: dualcounter-rotating platters. To save money, the Sparta’s speed is set manually instead of by optical sensors and it’s skeletal chassis is not as complex. To further keep prices as low as possible, Kronos Audio will offer packages featuring the Sparta and various tonearms and cartridges.
