For all you Vinyl lovers!

Latitk, you’d better not ask Jonathan about digital format, watch his video and don’t expect he will support your “music lover” theory regardless of format, leave it for Digital Section on this forum. You are in Analog Section, don’t forget it.

OMA definitely not a typical high-end manufacturer, quite opposite to the mainstream high-end.

I was fascinated by his producs many years ago, mainly OMA Graphite plinth for various turntables, especially for Technics SP10 mk2.

When I asked on audiogon no one can comment, no one never tried his stuff, later I asked again when OMA released cast iron plinth for Technics SP-10R. No one can say a word (considering most of audiogonners are Americans btw).

Many years ago I bought my Schick “12 inch tonearm and my first SPU cartridge from Jonathan (OMA). Tried to catch his demo Miyajima carts a few times, finally bought the Kansui few years ago (but not from him).

What I really like about OMA products is design, even if the price is insane the design is great, because often people ask too much for ungliest looking gear ever , for OMA this is not the case.

Later I posted SoundSmith cartridge made for OMA (that was good looking one).

ART-1000, Miyajima is what we can see now on Schroeder tonearms at OMA. Technics turntables as always!


BTW Jonathan posted on audiogon many years ago, just like many people who never post again. Think why.

In the final scene in the workshop, the record is warped.

make sure your CDs are not warped, it's much more problematic than warped records

Watch Steve Guttenberg at OMA 

Let people do what they want, you don't have to buy it, they are doing it with passion. 

My new Schick”12 inch tonearm was cheaper from OMA than from the manufacturer. At that time € to $ exchange rate was high. From OMA I bought the arm immediately, from the manufactuter it was pre-order and 2-3 month waiting time (crazy). So my experience with OMA is posivite (it was great price and fast delivery). 

Actually, I can't recall any non-audiophile friend who will argue against the statement that vinyl is better than digital. And all of them would love to buy vinyl, the only problem is that vinyl cost money (but their digital streaming is free or cost nearly nothing). And everyone would love to have a wall of LPs in their room and a nice sound system, but they can't afford it! Talking about people under 30.  

Well, this is a local recordshop in my neighborhood owned by fellow deejays, they got Klipschorns and they sell only vinyl and cassette tapes. Most of the buyers are very young! It's Russia, St.Petersburg.
