I thought so too at first. The reality is that Jonathan Weiss is a nasty, vile, human being. He ends up burning his relationships. Ask around and you’ll see…
Character of the founder is important when you are buying at this level. It’s a hobby and a pastime that is meant to bring the owner pleasure. Dealing with nasty people negates the benefits.
He also doesn’t know that much about audio. If you question his statements, you’ll find out that he builds on kernels of truth that he then distorts erroneously. I can cite many examples, one of which is how he used a cutting lathe as a model for the K3. Cutting lathes do NOT make good models for turntables. They serve opposite roles. His use of cast iron and belief that it’s a unique high-end material is laughable… he thinks that the more powerful the motor, the greater the sonic benefits… that’s just wrong.
I would not have OMA in my system even if it were free.
