Just witnessing the installation of my friend’s Kronos Pro Limited Edition with Discovery RS arm. What a beast! No way to install this without the assist of a professional.

I hope the owner likes how the table works with the Isoacoustics platform underneath, else it's reverse teardown and then rebuild.
I've been on the fence about getting one of the Isoacoustics turntable platforms myself.
