Need advice on new TT

Gr4blu

Bob from Rapsody is on WBF and Audiogon promoting Magico and his wares by the way.

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/magico-a5-official-announcement

per the the Raven it doesnt need promotion it is a known product.

If the Onkk proves its mettle vs those other tables yet costs thousands less we will have plenty of satisfied clients.

As you know my experience in this industry is lenghty to this date never heard a turntable sound this good with this degree of practicality at this kind of money which is why my company bought the display sample on the spot.

Bob from Rhapsody does not full court press threads like you guys foisting his agenda down people's throats.

you should self scout the density of your aggressive posting. if you are not embarrassed then you got a problem. 

no other forum would put up with it. Audiogon only sees dollar signs and is not concerned about it, so the community has to say something. and we are saying it.

Sorry Mike we disagree.

Gr4blu has 0 problems with Bob blatently creating a PR post proclaiming the greatness of the new Magicos which Rapsody has on order see our above post. 

Bob is also of WBF promoting his Allsovox products and here as well. 

If a new product is really good especially from an unknown company there is nothing wrong letting people know about it. 

C'mon Troy
You are the undisputed champion of self-promotion and have been told many times by many members to stop. But, as I've said before--you are the energizer bunny --you take a licking but keep on ticking. And so it will ever be.

Gr4 and as we have said many times before your hypocrispy is unbounded.

Not one peep out of you about Rhapsodys PR Magi post. How is that is anything other than a direct solicitation hey come buy these from us and it even lists all of his lines.

Nor any different than Mr Boivard who created his own unbiased forum which of course extolls the products he sells.

You need to get back to the music and what this industry is all about.

We will contiue to add new and exciting lines and products which are truly special.

@icorem  I would like to point out that you will not be able to use 2 arms with the Kronos. I' ve seen the Brinkman and AMG with 2 armwands.
I have a Reed 3p as well, and have it mounted on an Oracle Delphi MK VI Gen2. I do like the combination, but I  was also considering moving to the Kronos, but the Pro model. I have now decided not to go that route, as I too would like to have multiple arms mounted. I can not do this with the Oracle, nor would I be able to with any Kronos, so I am now keeping an eye out for something to suit me. Good luck with your quest. 

Pear Audio Blue Odar. The Odar turntable was awarded Best Sound at its world premiere at the Munich High-end show by The Absolute Sound, Enjoy The Music & AV Showrooms. Will support two arms.

icorem, given your budget of $20kish for a modern turntable, as others have mentioned you may wish to seriously consider a Technics Sp10R fitted in a properly engineered Panzerholz plinth with a constrained layer damped type of construction from an established designer such as Artisan Fidelity.  Their plinths will also accept your Reed 3P and Ortofon 309D arms.  A number of years past, a Technics Sp10Mk.3 housed in an OMA Slate plinth was my defacto analog source which I observed could sound rather sterile, even unemotional at times until I transplanted it into a Panzerholz plinth which immediately provided the much needed additional tonal weight and sense of naturalness that was previously missing.  Somehow, I have the distinct feeling that their latest cast iron plinths are likely voiced similarly, but at present this is only a hunch.  As with all things audio, many variables exist and not every turntable will inevitably sound superior with a Panzerholz plinth, this only reflects my personal experience with the Sp10's.

This Onkk is the winner in ugliest turntable design contest (imo). Those buttons, color, shape, tonearm .... looks like $200 usb turntable, but what is the dealers price? Something wrong in the industry nowadays, where did they get their designers? So ugly!

Agree and well stated!  To me, it looks like a kitchen countertop appliance from a 1950's mid century modern catalog, with a disguised origin live tonearm nonetheless for euro 20k.....?

Dohmann Helix 2

Another promising contender, but resides beyond the posters budget range.
