Turntable is brand new direct drive Technics SP-10R from Japan.
Tonearms are Schroeder from Germany.
What is made by OMA is only Iron Cast Plinth from USA.
I like almost everything from OMA in terms of design, this plinth is more attractive than original Technics plinth for this turntable. But in my country Cast Iron is relatively cheap and custom made plinth (if you can carry it) will be cheap.
When you will check all the prices for components in OMA system you will quickly realize that Technics SP-10r drive ($7k in Japan or about $10k in USA) is the way to go. The rest can be changed (different plinth, tonearms, cartridges) to save a lot!
P.S. Everything about SAT is insane and made for mentally sick people addicted to overpriced high-end toys in my opinion. I also think that SAT is the ugliest turntable ever taking in count its crazy price.
You’d better check what real engineers at Matsushita made for normal people, they’ve been doing it for 100 years and the prices are still affordable not only for audiophiles (besides reference class $10k SP-10R they made many more DD turntables at $1k - $4k price range few years ago) !
