3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢

I am careful to state that these Platterspeed measurements are for “entertainment purposes only”. All test records are faulty as are all records to one degree or another yet I much prefer records to all digital formats. That said, I use the same 7” Feickert test record for every test so while the record isn’t perfect the relative results are 100% accurate. Plus the results in green have been filtered to eliminate the effects of eccentricity. The SAT measurement was better than the SP10R’s. The OMA’s was best I’ve measured. The cheapest CD player will measure better but sound far worse. I’m now using the Shaknspin to measure speed, wow, flutter etc. it doesn’t rely upon a test record. It confirms the excellence of the OMA’s speed performance. As someone who professes to read and trust me you know that I almost never engage in hysterical hyperbole about BEST EVER. The AF Zero, SAT XD-1 and OMA are 3 great turntables and the SAT arm and Schroder OMA arm are the at the top of what I’ve so far heard. Buyers keying off of my SAT review have been in 100% agreement. When I wrote that I’ve not heard two other top
contenders, the Axiom and Vertere, a reader in Asia who owns all 3 said he thought the SAT the best among them. Visitors who got to hear all 3 turntables thought they were clearly among the finest they’d heard though all sounded different from one another, and sounded as I’d written (once the reviews were published). Finally, the poster who claimed I didn’t own a turntable in the ‘80s and had proclaimed digital best is either a liar or an ignoramus or both. I’ve been fighting the vinyl fight since hearing my first CD at an 80s AES. 

BTW your Platterspeed chart is a 30 second test thus smooothing out the visual result. I make sure to always take a 60 second sample

BTW: I never use phrases like “LAST WORD” or words like “STATEMENT”. Those are reserved for hack writers who sit “SLACK JAWED” to products that “RAISE THE BAR” etc.

Edgewear is simply jealous. He’s not heard any of these turntables but he’s eager to call wealthy people fools. That’s interesting. The ones I’ve met are damn smart and not easily fooled.

Dear all,

Mikey is the only one being able to compare all that fancy TTs. Regarding prices it is a never ending story. Maybe I should come up with a million dollar baby…Why not consuming Mikey´s thoughts, it gives information and discussion opportunity for the guys like us. I am always asking myself what are the real innovations in turntable building. Are they shown in these units?
i miss a real airbearing design which I have. I miss two exact running motors on both sides of a table, I have two installations and be very happy with it. I do own three DDs, among them a completely restored Victor 101. Why should I add 100 thousand dollars for a SAT table or an OMA design despite the Schröder arm looks interesting.
Maybe one day Mikey got enough from the business and will be able to build up a real listening room 😂
