One more note on Kronos. I'm not the only one that has discovered the amazing performance of a Kronos turntable. Kronos has become the reference turntable for a good number of reviewers and manufacturers that use them to review audio products and build audio products. And most importantly these industry folks have purchased them to simply enjoy their music. To name but a few; Editor-in-Chief of Positive Feedback - Dr. David Robinson, The Audio Analyst/Senior Editor Positive Feedback/Senior Editor Enjoy the Music.com - Greg Weaver, Senior Editor Positive Feedback - Marshall Nack, Freelance Audio Reviewer - Maurice Jeffries, Von Schweikert Audio, Magico Audio, Kubala-Sosna, Goebel High End, and the list goes on.

Ultimate Turntable search...OMA K5 or ?
As the title says, I’m on the hunt for a statement turntable. Don’t really post on the forum so forgive me if this has been discussed already. I’ve been told that whatsbest might be another place to post about this but I’ve been a seller on this site for many years, so I figured it was a good place to start.
I’m a longtime Caliburn owner but it’s time for a change. I would like to ditch the belt drive and vacuum. I know Fremer loves the OMA K3, but the K5 has got my attention. After owning many different speakers, a friend of mine turned me on to OMA. I ended up buying a pair of OMA mini’s about ten years ago and then quickly moved up to the AC-1. I’ve had a wonderful experience dealing with Jonathan and the company and love their aesthetic. With the AC-1s, my main system has reached a level of musicality and presence I never thought possible. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that upgrading my front end is my next big move. So I’ve been doing a ton of research on turntables in this class.
Although I’ve owned OMA speakers for years, I haven’t heard any of their new table designs. Sadly, I have not been to any shows or showrooms since covid. I do plan on visiting OMA sometime in the next few months, but for now, I’m interested if anybody has real life experience with the K3/K5 and if you have listening notes or opinions to share? Also curious to hear thoughts on competive turntables in this class. I have heard many high end tables in person, but definitely not all. Thanks!

@ddgtt You acknowledge "being in the audio business" in some but not most of your limited number of posts. I thought it was a Forums rule that you identify your business if you are in one. Maybe I am confusing the many fora I visit. Regardless, how about adding your business identity to your signature line so you don’t come across as an anonymous shill. "?" left out on purpose. |
