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,
