| OMA or Jean Natais Lenco rebuild We are in the process of launching a new website, which will no longer show plinth options for Lencos, but I thought it would be useful to comment in this thread that OMA no longer supports any Lenco PTP's with slate plinths.We now only offer the ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Had plenty of clients who sold their TW decks and replaced with an SP10. None to my knowledge who did the reverse. I'd be looking at your arm, cartridge, isolation, plinth, and every other aspect of your setup, and living with it until you really ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? We threw out all of the electronics on the SP10 MK2 and built a completely new motor control and power supply for our Tourmaline turntable which uses the SP10 motor/platter.Losing all of the PLL Servo components is a very good thing from a sonic s... | |
| The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge We tried this cartridge in 2007 with an interest towards mporting to the US. It's very much an amateur, DIY product. The angle of the cantilever is so extreme that SRA is impossible without your tonearm being 3 or 4 inches elevated from horizontal... | |
| Anyone heard of Silvercore SUT:s OMA is the distributor of Silvercore in North America, and we would be happy to answer any questions you have about the step up transformer line, or demo the entire line at our NYC showroom. We even have the custom 1:5 unit mentioned in this threa... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question For a government research scientist, Richard, you don't seem to understand much.My company employs technicians- in other words we pay them. They do not work for free. We do not provide free assistance to other technicians who cannot figure out a p... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Regarding the comment from Lewm-"I am not at all surprised that neither OMA nor Artisan could help; those guys are not techies."OMA does not provide free technical advice. We employ several technicians. They do not work for free. I explained that ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hello Raul,You wrote-"There is no doubt that TT plinths can be measured to have information that can give the designer at least an idea where the design goes.The real subject on measurements in an audio item ( including TT plinths. ) is that the d... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths I agree with Albert.We have a perfect, stock SP10 MK3 with EPA 100 arm and EPC 305MKII cartridge here at Oswaldsmill, as a reference unit. This has proved very useful in designing our own slate plinths. Anyone who would like to know how a SP10 MK3... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Dbcooper,Its an interesting question, about testing a material to try and determine its sonic properties. Let me relate an anecdote which might be appropriate.A couple of years ago, I was invited to one of the "jam" sessions held at Gregory Singer... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hi Albert,You were referring to the 2008 RMAF show, where OMA debuted the Saskia turntable created by Win Tinnon, for which OMA made the slate plinth and other slate parts. That was an idler drive turntable, not a rim drive (a rim drive does not n... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hi Albert,I wish we could take credit for the rim drive you heard at CES, but we were not there, and have not made a rim drive deck to date. I wonder what you heard? All of our turntables and plinths are made of slate, but perhaps it was a Denham ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hi Albert,Thanks for the response- I did read Mike's response, but I always prefer getting an answer from the maker of a product directly.As for what OMA does, we have always made slate plinths for customers with Technics SP tables, and continue t... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths I guess my question in the midst of this s///t storm is not going to get answered? It's a really simple question, no interpretation or opinions required. | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths If I understand this thread correctly, neither Porter nor Dobbins actually remove the motor and platter of the SP10 from the chassis in their plinth designs, but instead remove the top of the SP10 chassis, and sink that into their plinths? |
