My favorites over the techdas AF3 and AF1, SME 30/2 (never heard the 30 / 12 properly), kuzma all models, is the Brinkmann Balance, or if you have more money and can do with only one arm, Vyger Atlantis. Also, keep it to the EU, many TTs here. No need to import

Avid Acutus Reference or even the mono version. Superb looking, easy to set up and sound quality to match. Excellent customer support and service, should it ever be required.

I have listened to a lot of turntables and out of the ones you listed, Kronos has been the one I have been impressed with by the most. If I ever upgrade my Acoustic Solid One to One, I would seriously look at a Kronos if i had that kind of spare money.

SME 30/12 is one heck of a turntable. However, I do like my Grand Prix Audio Monaco 2.0. Depends if you want to stick with belt or direct drive...
