If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear


This even without hearing it. The pieces are so beautiful I don’t see how they could not sound fabulous. The Sp10s look like they are built like a tank. I’d even buy their equipment racks. Maybe someday or maybe I’ll purchase something from their sister company Fleetwood sound.

@lewm , I'm not inclined to think that form has any function but what do I know about it. Can't tell from the picture how the arm works but Mr Schroder comes up with very novel approaches and I can now tell you from first hand experience that he knows what he is doing. I also know for a fact that you are not buying one either. It's three failings are it's lack of isolation, a dust cover and vacuum clamping. Three strikes and...

@chakster , nice to hear.

Clearthinker, tell that to Malcolm Sayer:-) In the words of Enzo?

@cleeds , So nice to hear from you again.


It is an interesting design exercise. I do not care for it's looks either. It is not a turntable I would buy even if I had the money to throw away. I would be more inclined to get an Air Force Zero. Now, that is one sharp looking piece of metal.
@chakster, when the marketing is BS I look immediately the other way. There is not a think these people sell that is not a complete waste of money. There is far less expensive equipment that will perform better and last longer being sold by companies that do not have to resort to BS. Just my humble opinion. 
Please don't compare HiFi's with automobiles. They are vastly different.
HiFi's are not to look at, they are for listening. 

OMA is all about marketing. @chakster, I am really surprised that you are so enthralled by OMA's marketing BS. You are smarter than that.

Please do not judge HiFi gear by it's appearance. It should only be well made of durable materials and perform at a level consistent with it's price.
Nothing OMA makes performs at a level consistent with it's price. But I suppose that opinion would vary based on your ability to be able to afford it and I could not. I can only say that it is highly unlikely I would buy any of their equipment even if I could afford it as it does not meet my personal criteria. But, that is personal and other's will feel differently.
Good thing you can't afford it. It is not worth the money. Why is it that people buy audio gear to look at? It is for listening. As long as it is well built I could care less what it looks like.
