Joey, I know folks who have spent (no lie) $380,000.00 just to fly 3 acousticians out to their room. Paid for the flights, room and board....as well as other amenities/meals/pleasantries while they were on site.
All they did was measure and offer advice.
Nothing was purchased, other than knowledge.
Thing is? This was chump change to them in the whole grand scheme of things.

What's funny (and I may be incorrect here) is that they have the same tracking force tool I as well as many others have....

Today I spent time examine the table and the speakers, listening and playing with the system. I moved the speakers to a position where I preferred the presentation since the owner wanted the sound to be more similar to my Magico system.
I can say, I’m a fan of these Kharma speakers… they are very very good.
The Kronos is a very interesting table in its own right. I’m not sure how I would feel it would do against my own VPI Avenger Reference. It is very quiet, I think moreso than my table, but I’m not sure if it’s the DS audio glossing over certain things or what.
Overall, a very good and honest sound out of the system. The proportions of the staging seem correct. The system sounds grounded. The bass was a bit ripe earlier but the new positioning ameliorates that.

I didn’t get to hear the secondary and tertiary systems. One was Joseph audio Pulsars I believe.
The other one were the stunning SF Electa Amator III.

I recall my listening from yesterday, that Kharma Kronos system is special. Sounds complete. The table is very nice, it sounded clean and whole from top to bottom. No deficiency. I could live with that system.
I then heard another good system yesterday night, but there’s a wide gap in performance no matter how you slice it. Fritz speakers sounded pretty decent though.

All the care and detail you guys went through here and you couldn't level those diffusers at least for the final photo?!? I'm in the middle of an OCD attack here! Please have your friend send you another photo with them leveled and post it so I can unsee all the other ones! 😳😵💫😂
Definitely quite the rig, though! 👍
