From my experience, nothing has the sound quality of the Kronos turntables from Montreal, Canada. As you've probably seen they use a second counter-rotating platter. This cancels the sideways torque placed upon the suspension. This means they can use a suspension, which has real sonic advantages. You can truly hear the difference. Every time I hear an analog system with a Kronos in it there's something special about the sound.
Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?
I haven't been following this for a number of years. Just curious.
Does any of you have one of those ?
"Top of the range" is British English, that was intentional. When I think turntables, at least under $50k or so, I always first think British.
