Unique to behold, the Sparta is essentially two complete turntables—each including a skeletal, metal-framed plinth fabricated of solid aluminum boards with phenolic inserts—one situated immediately above the other. Both hang freely from the same, patented, four-post, pillar suspension system.

The dual-platters, spinning in opposite directions and driven by separate motors solve the problem of “torsional forces”, that are inherent in typical spring suspended sub platter ‘tables where the sub platter frame rotates in synch with the platter. In other words, as the platter spins, it produces frame movement because no platter, no matter how carefully balanced, is perfectly balanced.

While these torsional forces can be damped, Kronos completely eliminates torsional forces in its suspended designs, thus providing the isolation suspended ‘tables can provide, without the torsional movement downside.

Only played a few times and look like new! Comes with all accessories, including the latest wood-bodied record clamp. Please note, this comes packaged with the much more expensive 12" Black Beauty tonearm.
