Kronos Sparta or TechDas Air Force III?

Hi all,

I have the opportunity to buy one of them. They are both used but with one year warranty. Soon I will have the chance to listen to the Kronos, but it is difficult to listen to second and this is why I need your opinion and experience.

Thanks

So full disclosure I am a TechDas III premium owner and very satisfied.   Until you actually try a vacuum hold down from TechDas you probably shouldn't be commenting on the system.     They are a well established company and a subsidiary of Stella.   They will be around a long time.

Curious what @renatocomes the OP ultimately decided?

Ciao rsf507,

il mio hifi pusher ( 😉 ) sold me a brand new AVID Classic + Benz LP cartridge for a great price. I reused my beloved tome arm, SME V (which is the perfect AVID companion) .

AVID is great, simpler to manage and robust as a tank. Sparta has 2 engines therefore the probability that you can be in trouble is twice .. Tech Das is not well supported in Italy.

Anyway, the TT cable is FM Acoustics and I reused it too.

Thanks for asking me. Next step will be interconnect cables.
