Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT?

Dear @mglik  : "   the most interesting thing about Michael Fremer’s review of the 1/4 million SAT TT was the mention that the OMA SP-10 in the cast iron plinth "

I can't argue what's the most interesting thing for you but I think that very important praise from MF review was this one that he not even mentioned to his Caliburn ( btw, do you asked your self how much paid MF by its Caliburn after his glowing review?) :

"""  The XD1 shares some sonic characteristics with Rega's revolutionary RP10 turntable: ultrafast, clean transients throughout the audible frequency range; tight, fast bass; revealing midrange transparency; and overall sonic stability and focus.  ""

Why any one could ask for a better TT out there when for 5.6K you can own a TT/tonearm from REGA where maybe no other TT at any price really can outperfors it. Not even the SAT or Caliburn?

The speed stability swing in the SAT is 0.04% and MF says better than the SP 10R  and the Rega for less than 6K is an outstanding: 0.06%   ! ! ! 

Do it you a favor an read the Rega review and if after that you want the SP 10R thwen go a head, all is up to you.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

I’d like to hear that particular Rega, too. No argument here. But is the RP10 their top of the line? If so, can you really buy it for only $6K or less?

EDIT. I just checked the price, and Raul is correct.  It's a minimalist design for sure, which allows for its low price/performance ratio, assuming it does perform very well.  The design philosophy is the polar opposite of any design using a cast iron plinth.

( btw, do you asked your self how much paid MF by its Caliburn after his glowing review?) :

He paid him much less than he would have paid for a bad review.  LoL

If you want a turntable that look like a toy, very similar to all those cheap pro-ject and music hall crap, then Rega is yours.

In my opinion this is the worst choice ever at $6k!

Real turntables are different that this and always were different.

Any classic turntables are real, no matter Garrard, Technics, EMT, Victor, Denon ... etc.

Those modern designers trying to make a turntable like a portable computer device of the modern era. If your wife do not allow you to buy something real then maybe, but $6k ?

Company like OMA is not about mainstream audio, look at the whole OMA line of products. They do not try to serve people who are looking for Rega! I don’t understand how anyone can even compare those things. OMA inspired by classics! Look at their huge horn speakers, super heavy turntable plinth (graphite or cast iron), and everything they put together. It’s new classics. Those Schroeder arms is reference to the Grey Research tonearms from the 50’s.

The new Rega turntables are interesting.  They are designed around the principle of very low mass and high stiffness.  These characteristics are chosen to minimize energy storage in the body of the turntable that then can be released into the platter and bearing, hence affecting sonic quality.  Before you dismiss the entire product line out of hand, it would be worthwhile to have a listen.  I am not defending the low end Rega turntables or their past efforts which could not even hold speed.  I am only referencing their new flagship design.  The high end models even include speed controllers.  (If they don't, I withdraw my plug.)  By the way, the design philosophy also results in low cost to build the chassis; I would guess there is more profit in their $6500 RP10 than there is in many more expensive, more substantial turntables. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
