Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT?


I thought the most interesting thing about Michael Fremer’s review of the 1/4 million SAT TT was the mention that the OMA SP-10 in the cast iron plinth came very close to being up to the level of his beloved other super table the $150K Colibri Continuum. I am super happy with my Woodsong Garrard 301 and would never buy the OMA or the other crazy expensive TTs but am very curious to know if anyone has heard or owned the OMA. I do believe that a TT with an extremely heavy, dense plinth is the best design. But is the OMA really that close for a fraction of the price?

Chakster is 100% right, in my opinion.  Which is to say we have the same opinion.  If you want a great turntable, world class, for under $10K, get the SP10R and then have a plinth devised for it, which need not cost you more than a few thousand bucks, or less if you have any DIY skills.  Although I suppose my concerns are excessive, I have to wonder, at least, about surrounding a powerful motor with cast iron, which of course is magnetic.  I don't know what if anything that would do to the magnetic field generated in the motor.
Dear @mglik  : "   the most interesting thing about Michael Fremer’s review of the 1/4 million SAT TT was the mention that the OMA SP-10 in the cast iron plinth "

I can't argue what's the most interesting thing for you but I think that very important praise from MF review was this one that he not even mentioned to his Caliburn ( btw, do you asked your self how much paid MF by its Caliburn after his glowing review?) :

"""  The XD1 shares some sonic characteristics with Rega's revolutionary RP10 turntable: ultrafast, clean transients throughout the audible frequency range; tight, fast bass; revealing midrange transparency; and overall sonic stability and focus.  ""

Why any one could ask for a better TT out there when for 5.6K you can own a TT/tonearm from REGA where maybe no other TT at any price really can outperfors it. Not even the SAT or Caliburn?

The speed stability swing in the SAT is 0.04% and MF says better than the SP 10R  and the Rega for less than 6K is an outstanding: 0.06%   ! ! ! 

Do it you a favor an read the Rega review and if after that you want the SP 10R thwen go a head, all is up to you.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

I’d like to hear that particular Rega, too. No argument here. But is the RP10 their top of the line? If so, can you really buy it for only $6K or less?

EDIT. I just checked the price, and Raul is correct.  It's a minimalist design for sure, which allows for its low price/performance ratio, assuming it does perform very well.  The design philosophy is the polar opposite of any design using a cast iron plinth.
( btw, do you asked your self how much paid MF by its Caliburn after his glowing review?) :

He paid him much less than he would have paid for a bad review.  LoL
If you want a turntable that look like a toy, very similar to all those cheap pro-ject and music hall crap, then Rega is yours.

In my opinion this is the worst choice ever at $6k!

Real turntables are different that this and always were different.

Any classic turntables are real, no matter Garrard, Technics, EMT, Victor, Denon ... etc.

Those modern designers trying to make a turntable like a portable computer device of the modern era. If your wife do not allow you to buy something real then maybe, but $6k ?

Company like OMA is not about mainstream audio, look at the whole OMA line of products. They do not try to serve people who are looking for Rega! I don’t understand how anyone can even compare those things. OMA inspired by classics! Look at their huge horn speakers, super heavy turntable plinth (graphite or cast iron), and everything they put together. It’s new classics. Those Schroeder arms is reference to the Grey Research tonearms from the 50’s.
