The OMA SP10 Plinth System 

The aesthetics alone make me want to possess this set-up. The combination of materials just look fabulous together, and I'm including the amps and speakers here.

Would be interesting to hear a shoot-out between the turntable set-up in this video, an EMT 927 and a mass-loaded belt drive turntable using the same tonearm, cartridge, amplifier and speakers.

This OMA philosophy about good sound is marvelous, unconventional and perfect in the smallest details. I like that. No influence from outside, just straight forward.

If I could afford it I would own a complete system from you. You have educated me on a lot. I do love Horn speakers. In 73 or so I heard a pair of Klipsch K-Horns and from then on I was a horn fan. It basically changed everything I knew about music. Yes I have had a pair of Klipsch horns for years and pair of Klipsch Belle’s on by Back B speakers all play together. It’s unbelievable the music that happens when they play together. It’s just fills the room . What you produce really is at another level. Keep up the fantastic work. The World is a better place for all you have done ! Thank you !

slowly but surely Jomathan is becoming the Jay Leno of Audio

I've pulled sp 10s and mccurdy decks from a few stations , love those decks

I really enjoy what you are doing with OMA; your passion is very clear. Incredible design language, all around, quite a treat to see what you have created. I know my local hi fi dealer BEK Allentown Pennsylvania carries your Fleetwood speaker line; I'm very much looking forward to hearing them as well. Best of luck in all --cheers.

Beautiful.

Your work is amazing, the most beautiful sound gear I have seen, a dream to have opportunity to hear them or tho have a OMA turntable(s) with FS tonearms, Exquisite!!! Greetings from Azores islands. All the best! José

I realised early on down my hi-fi road how much difference a turntable's plinth makes. My first 'real' s/h deck was a vintage (mid 60's?) Thorens 150 / vintage SME (3009?) But when I pulled the flimsy hard-board or v.thin wood? plinth off, & dropped it in an overly large piece 3 or 4 inch thick compressed fibre board, which I jig-sawed out leaving only space for the sprung hanging sub-chasis & max overlap space for the top-plate to overlap, the difference was so so, but the following day I bought some fancy brass screws & screw down the decks metal top'plate with a about 8 along each of the 4 edges, bonding it firmly into the slab of board, instead of it just hanging by gravity alone ...the difference with all else being the same, was phenomenal & like a totally & far better system, that"s about sinking away the resonances (& possibly making any remaining resonance into a far higher frequency & invonciquentiall to the arm/cart tracing the groove???) In 40 yrs of owning my own (then all s/h) stereo gear since 20'ish yrs old, that Thorens /SME** with Free Plinth upgrade (**£30 s/h pre - eBay, of course) remains one of the top 3 biggest improvements I'd ever heard & made to my gear that i'll never forget, such was the vast all-round improvment, & the deep tight & tuneful bass i'd never heard before was just one of many upgrade in sound that the new plinth made. You never bothered about ruining a sell-on in those day 's s/h prices tho I did to a friend, on it's sound alone in his system.

Everything you make is a work of art that is great to look at and then the best part is that then they all help produce that exquisite sound we love to hear. I truly admire your approach to music reproduction and the design too. But damn I wish I could afford your stuff because I would buy it all. Even without hearing i know it is all just fucking awesome. Just perfect sir.

Could you make a plinth for a Technics sp 15/25?

Jonathan. I have two questions! Firstly, you let slip a K5 turntable, could you tell us more about that one please and also an in-depth video on the new K3 would be wonderful please. Secondly, in the special K amp video ( which looks incredible by the way) did I spy beneath it an OMA branded CD player? I know you prefer analog but you obviously do digital from watching previous videos and what looks like your own CD player in the K3 video. Could you tell us which digital sources you prefer. You have a unique approach to Audio which I personally love so I would love to know what digital sources satisfy you sonically. All the best from Austria, Ian

Can these plinths be ordered from Europe?

Thinking about buying the new limited edition 60th anniversary technics turntable. Probably just for fun. I think they’re only making 3000 of these fully clear acrylic tables.

🙄🧐👍💪

I find it very interesting the amount of manufacturers who claim to be the best in the world. How would the average person position such a heavy plinth?

I have some points: 1) This is only a great setup up if you have a concrete floor and dont live close to a road producing subsonic vibrations, even mid range turntables use great 3 point suspensions like the LP12, mount an LP12 on a good wall bracket and the advantages of heavy chassis is just about negated and I doubt would add benefit to the sound. 2) Great speed control is already on higher ending turntables and arguably just as good as the SP10 variants, these are so good now, the need for really heavy platters becomes redundant. Having said all that, its a masterpiece for what it is, but the wise man might choose a good 3 point suspension mounted on a wall bracket with DC motor speed control with a heavy platter (+3kg) and IMO no blind listening test would be able to identify which is the better sounding.

lol, Kosher audio.

talk is cheap .. play a record..
