Why would you not want one of the cast iron plinths?I believe that he's correct, but I would not want one of his cast iron plinths!
Because I don't believe that you need that much mass in any plinth; and there are much cheaper materials that also deal with vibration and noise in an acoustically benign and ordered manner. Also, I don't like the look of the OMA plinth.Why would you not want one of the cast iron plinths?
Given that my DIY Lenco plinth weighs about 70 lbs and the OMA grey iron damped plinth is about 90 lbs the OMA weight doesn't concern me (plus I'm a fan of mass damping for machine tools and turntables). I can appreciate you're not a fan of the cast iron. I kinda like it, but for that much money appearance definitely matters.Because I don't believe that you need that much mass in any plinth; and there are much cheaper materials that also deal with vibration and noise in an acoustically benign and ordered manner.

Yeah I think so. Seems pretty high. I think it would do quite well in a contrained layer damped plinth for a lot less money. OMA's market seems to be people that want turn-key good sounding systems--source, amps, horns that are complementary. Cost seems to be less of a concern.So the cost of that OMA plinth is $10k? I believe he mentioned in one of those videos “$20k without the arm”.
Plinth is $11k IIRC, and the SP10R is another $11k, for a total of $22k w/o the tonearm.So the cost of that OMA plinth is $10k? I believe he mentioned in one of those videos “$20k without the arm”.
