The Kronos Sparta is a high-end belt-driven turntable with Kronos Audio’s contra-rotating dual-platter design. It operates at 33.3 and 45 rpm and accommodates 9-inch to 10.5-inch tonearms, including the optional 10.5-inch Helena carbon-fiber unipivot tonearm. The turntable measures approximately 20 × 14 × 11 inches and weighs about 70 pounds. Its suspended construction and dual-platter system are designed to improve rotational stability and reduce vibration during vinyl playback. The Sparta 0.5 is a separate, single-platter model that can be upgraded toward Sparta specification.
