Need advice on new TT


Hi all

I'm currently using a restored Garrarad 301 but looking to go for a modern TT. Budget is around 20k$
My short list so far is Brinkmann Balance, Kronos Sparta and AMG Viella. I'm looking only for a table to use with my current 2 arms - Reed 3p and Ortofon 309D.
Any thoughts you wanna share with me on this ?
Thanks in advance to all repliers.

Anyone compared the Technics to one of my short list ot any head to head between the Kronos and the Brinkmann ?


Technics is a guarantee of quality and there are many engineers who have worked on this project; also Matsushita has plenty of money to support an idea up to the finished product.

Can we say the same for competitors? I have big doubts!
This Onkk is the winner in ugliest turntable design contest (imo)

I can only agree!
we signed up to be the Onkk importer on the spot after hearing the table at the New York audio show, the sound of the table was extraordinary it took a pair of speakers we never loved and produced a three dimensional sound field with deep propulsive bass with an almost non existent level of surface noise,


How is it possible to indicate in Onkk all these qualities in an unknown environment such as that of an exhibition?
This sonic quality could be attributed to the whole audio chain!
