At Kronos AV, turntables aren’t just another product category — they’re a core passion. As two-time Turntable Specialist of the Year, we spend countless hours seeking out the very best new analogue brands, evaluating real engineering, musical performance, and long-term value before anything earns a place on our shelves.
That’s exactly why we’re proud to welcome Takumi turntables to our range, now available in-store and online.
About Takumi
Despite its Japanese-inspired name — Takumi meaning master craftsman — Takumi is a Dutch brand, designed and developed in the Netherlands by audio engineer Rik Stoet. The brand was created around a simple but increasingly rare idea: focus on the fundamentals that genuinely improve vinyl replay, and leave everything else out.
This design philosophy reflects a very European approach to hi-fi — practical, honest, and engineering-led — with performance always placed above marketing hype.
Exceptional Value, Real Musical Performance
What immediately impressed us about Takumi is just how much turntable you get for the money. By investing in the areas that truly matter — motor control, bearing quality, platter stability, and tonearm geometry — Takumi delivers a sound that is engaging, natural, and rhythmically convincing.
Rather than pushing prices higher with unnecessary complexity, Takumi focuses on maximum musical return at sensible price points, making their turntables one of the standout value options in today’s analogue market.
Why We Chose Takumi
As specialists, we don’t follow trends — we evaluate performance. Takumi earned its place at Kronos AV because it offers:
-
Outstanding sound quality that comfortably outperforms its price
-
Clean, understated design that works in real living spaces
-
Robust build quality designed for long-term ownership
-
Superb value for money, ideal for both first-time buyers and serious upgrades
This is exactly the kind of brand we actively look for as turntable specialists.
