    Whilst I've never had the pleasure of experiencing these products.... It would seem that intention to produce class leading and era defining performance has been very much the driving force...
    Basics achieve results and details achieve great results.... There is attention to detail all over that gear.
    Thank you for this content Greg. 👍🏻

    Good evening everyone from tropical Scotland 😁 First things first it was a pleasure to meet you at axpona 😁 listened to the sparta turntable in the gtt room and if that's what the baby turntable sounds like I would love to hear the new one or the discovery it was that good 😁 if it was your money and you had the choice of the kronos phono stage or the vac statement which would you choose? Please stay safe everyone and look after yourselves 😁😁😁😁

      Hello, Paul! So good to see you there!
      And as I said in E50 ( ua-cam.com/video/EV8gyejWRFk/v-deo.html), I named my products of the decade and I recognized the two box VAC Statement Phonostage as my choice for Phonostage of the Decade, 2011-2020. I am must faithfully report that what I have heard from the new Kronos Discovery Phonostage allows it to unseat the previous champion. It is the benchmark against which all contenders must be measured at this point in time.

    What a great introduction to the newest turntable from Kronos thanks Greg. Truly appreciate the in-depth video. Do you know what the actual price is going to be? Anyhow, I look forward to seeing your next video. God bless in Jesus name.

      Hello. So, the Perpetual will be launched at the introductory price of $69,000, or as a $79,000 package WITH the Kronoscope RS tonearm, which is $14,000 when purchased separately, and as an $89,000 package WITH the Discovery RS tonearm, which is $24,000 when purchased separately. These introductory prices MAY be adjusted as production costs are more carefully analyzed...

      Have you personally heard any of the OMA products? My listening experiences with them, including last year at Munich, left me with little further interest in the OMA products.

    Wonderful products! Tomorrow I will be flying into San Antonio, Texas to deliver & set-up a Kronos Limited Edition!
    FYI this was Jay's turntable - of Jay's Audio Lab UA-cam channel fame? - in addition to also delivering a Studer A-807 Reel-to-Reel Mastering Tape Deck. I love my job! 🙏🏻
    So guess what gentlemen? Time to pitch this Kronos Perpetual to our friend Jay! He's looking for his next "Reference" turntable!

    Visually more appealing than the Discovery turntable. Question: will the phono stage handle DS Audio cartridges?

    • @theaudioanalyst
      @theaudioanalyst  4 місяці тому

      No, it won't. This is the finest traditional phono stage I've ever heard, and has no interest of being "everything to everyone.' It is a statement creation that, in my experience, sets an incredibly new standard for others to try to reach. Where the DS Audio approach is completely different and has its own development curve from other manufacturers like EMM, Mola-Mola, and WestminsterLab.

    What is groove rush? First time I hear that term.

    • @theaudioanalyst
      @theaudioanalyst  3 місяці тому

      Hello. "Groove rush" is the sound we hear, typically described as a low-level hiss or surface noise, as the stylus traces the groove walls during unmodulated sections of the LP, like in the silence before, between, or after tracks, or during very quiet passages.
