| Schroeder Reference Arm Hi Lew,The Schroeder Reference, Model Two and DPS are still made by hand by Frank Schroeder in Berlin. OMA sells all of these arms, and can demo them to interested parties at our new OMA Showroom in Manhattan (Soho) or at Oswaldsmill in Eastern Pe... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm If you heard the Schroeder in the Soundsmith room, it was not with a low compliance, heavy cart that would typically be associated with putting a lot of energy back into the tonearm, or "leaking" to use an unfortunate term of Doug's. As for his pa... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Hi Doug,I was pandering. And there is an OMA Soho Showroom, and you are invited to visit any time. And I will play the $40,000 plus Wadia system 9 against our turntables, and people can decide for themselves. Obviously, I am highly biased, but eno... | |
| Why not horns? I've been watching this thread with a good deal of amusement. I don't think many people here have any idea of what horns can be. It's that simple. So here is the Disclaimer- my company, OMA, manufactures conical horn based systems which are create... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement If you are in the NYC area, OMA has a showroom in Soho, Manhattan and we have the only Wadia system 9 for public audition in the New York Metropolitan area, or so I've been told by Wadia. You can come in and here a direct A/B comparison with our t... | |
| EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT? We have a BBC Wide Body EMT 950 in our soon to be open DUMBO Brooklyn, NYC showroom for OMA (Oswaldsmill Audio) precisely so that audiophiles can hear the real thing, and A/B to the turntables which OMA manufactures (both direct drive and idler dr... | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood There are several reasons why almost no companies in the world make a solid wood speaker.1. It's incredibly difficult. Wood moves. All fine hardwood furniture is made with joints or joinery construction, to allow the wood to move, to expand and co... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement We have a Wadia System 9- mono 922 computers and 931 digital controller with the new Wadia transport on its way at our new showroom in Soho in New York City.

| Why not horns? There is a saying in Zen, If you are off by an inch, you are off by a million miles.This particularly applies to horn loudspeakers.Horn speaker design is either on, or its not, and if its not on, by virtue of its greater dynamics and higher overal... | |
| Lyra Olympos vs Parnassus naked original version Hello Jonathan,I find this a very interesting thread. Can you tell us something about the speakers, phonostage and amplifiers, as well as turntable and arm that you use to voice your cartridges?Thanks,Jonathan Weiss | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? I just spoke with Peter. Today is Sunday. He called from the office, where he is retipping carts. Which is very typical of him- he usually works on weekends and also late in the evening doing the retips and building the higher end Soundsmith carts... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Just to end this idle discussion, try taking a SP10 motor and platter unit out of its housing and run it with no plinth, and no platter. It will not work at all. This is very close to the condition that Raul mentions, and is extremely ill advised.... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Hello Hiho,First, a disclaimer- Weisselk is me, Jonathan Weiss, and I own OMA. I'm pretty new here to Audiogon and I want to follow the rules. Regarding the platter height, it is actually sunk in MORE on the original chassis than in this design. W... | |

| What Arm choices for the Garrard 301 The Schick arm is by far the favorite choice amongst my customers for the OMA slate plinths for the 301 and 401. I've had a very wide variety of arms requested for the OMA plinths for the 301, including Schroeder's, Da Vinci, and TriPlanar, but th... |
