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

Perhaps, but why over years have you been so persistently antagonistic toward Richard? In any case, it’s my fault, not Richard’s that I erroneously credited him with a degree.

Thats not true.

In actual fact if you read the thread on the Eminent Technology air bearing arm I simply disputed his suggestion of adding 30 grams of mass to the arm and removing the patented decoupled counterweight and replacing it with a rigid bolt.

He argued for almost 12 months on why adding 30g of mass was a good thing ( along with much junk logic ), and then some time later claimed he hadn't in fact added 30 grams of mass.

Ditto on the thread on direct drive vs idler vs belt he claimed the Goldmund DD motor had a sampling rate of 34000 which he conceded later was not correct.

You falsely assume because someone disagrees there must be antagonism, which is simply not correct.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I on the other hand, would avoid OMA gear - tons of better stuff out there at a lesser price. Way overpriced.

I totally agree, lots of snake oil.

@dover.  You keep track of my qualifications and my alleged transgressions on A'Gon. Really?

For the record. I hold a New Zealand Certificate in Engineering (electrical). Back then it was a 5-year part time or 3-year full time qualification from Auckland University of Technology. Pretty sure that this is a tertiary Engineering qualification. 

I let my work speak for itself and would be more than happy to engage in respectful, meaningful peer to peer discussion on my design choices and theirs. There are many ways to build a TT and I admire other designers who have pushed the envelope with their innovative creations. Their designs are a genuine effort to advance the medium. Hopefully we are collectively holding the analogue flag high.

Cheers. 

Interesting perhaps for Mike Lavigne, I just read M Fremer’s review of the Lino C phono stage, which was done using the Krebs K3 and the Schroeder K3 tonearm as source components.He makes a specific point that “sustain” was for him a remarkable virtue of that combination regardless of cartridge. So we have one opinion that may be in conflict with Mike’s privately offered sample.
