The Vinyl Factory have recently released what they believe to be the best turntables of 2018 so far, and from the list Kronos AV has done pretty well stocking 5 out of the 8 turntables mentioned.
Paul Rigby, a well known audio reviewer, mainly known for his work on The Audiophile Man took a look at some of the best turntables on the market, and here is what made it into his list form the Kronos AV Range!
1. The Funk Firm Rage II
The Rage II in it's basic form is a Rega Planar III, which The Funk Firm offer a fully upgraded kit for. Essentially you will get one of the highly regarded Funk Firm Acromat's (5mm), Funk Firm's F7 Tonearm and Funk Firms Bo!ng Feet. So if you already own a Rega Planar III, this full upgrade kit will cost you £607.00, somewhat of a bargain given Paul Rigby's high praise
"As for the sound quality of the Rage II? Brilliant! It gives the Planar 3 a new lease of life."
Please contact us for more information regarding this upgrade kit.
2. Pro-Ject Debut III S Audiophile
Possibly one of the hottest products this year, the Debut III Audiophile is a real giant killer, and we are not surprised to see it included in the list. Getting a turntable with an S-Shaped arm at this price point os somewhat fo a rarity, and couple that with an exclusive cartridge from Ortofon, and you are onto a winner!

Marketed as an "all in one" unit, the Juke Box E includes a built-in phono stage, a pre-amplifier, a power amplifier and Bluetooth in one chassis.

5. Elipson Omega 100 RIAA BT Carbon Black
Certainly a contender for one of the best-looking turntables, you will get a modern vibe from the Elipson Omega, with an array of carbon fibre goodness through. Also included are a built-in phono stage, Bluetooth, and USB port, so you can digitise all of your vinyl. Coming complete with a Pro-Ject carbon fibre tonearm, and Ortofon 2m Red Cartridge (which retails for £94 alone!) this has to be a contender at its price point.
