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

OMA is all about marketing. @chakster, I am really surprised that you are so enthralled by OMA’s marketing BS. You are smarter than that.

@mijostyn 

The whole High-End industry today is about marketing, but OMA can do it better than others, because 99,9% of modern High-End turntables look like this and it’s awful design! I think I will pay extra to get rid of stuff like this even if someone will bring it for free to my room. This is modern High-End reality, not OMA.

The OMA is almost completely different from any high-end store and I respect that. If they can sell their stuff for insane prices it’s fine, who cares?

I mean look at my virtual system (2017-2019), I’m definitely not an OMA gear buyer, but I like a mix of modern and vintage high-end. Long time ago I noticed their love for Technics SP-10 mkII which I owned for a long time. I realized that Jonathan is a collector of vintage audio gear, can't find his oldest video, but this is a new one about it.

I bought some nice stuff from OMA, Jonathan was a good seller, he personally replied to my emails, answered all my question, it was long time ago, but everything was nice and smooth, I bought a tonearm and MC cartridge from an OMA shop and received it my mail (overseas).

Selection of cartridges at their shop was nice (Miyajima, Ortofon SPU, SoundSmith...), selection of tonearms was nice too (Schick, Schroeder ... ), I remember those German Silvercore SUTs and some other stuff.

Instead of selling regular high-end BS they have been selling carefully selected stuff only. I really like this concept. I left no more than $3k at the OMA online shop and I was happy, later I sold everything after upgrading and did not lose any penny. Will I buy from OMA again? Probably not, I have my sources now, but I respect what they are doing.

$360,000 buy a  nice system for a $100k and a nice 911 turbo s with the quarter Million left. Enjoy stroking that tone arm. 

In thus price band its not likely to be an either/or decision tree.

@chakster, when the marketing is BS I look immediately the other way. There is not a think these people sell that is not a complete waste of money. There is far less expensive equipment that will perform better and last longer being sold by companies that do not have to resort to BS. Just my humble opinion. 

Actually, Mijo, the Krebs might be as good as or better than any turntable in the world regardless of price. The only reasonable  objections are to the  looks, for some, or to the price asked. So don’t buy one.
