    That is wonderful news Jonathan. I hope that you keep us updated, from time to time, on how things are progressing with this exciting effort.

    Impressive feat and trying to improve on the Neumann lathe is a very worthwhile cause. No doubt recording engineers and vinyl fans alike will be looking forward to it in great anticipation.
    Will you be considering any eddy current motors or other types of motor which produce a less prominent cogging?

    Imagine the bearing strength to support the weight of the platter plus hold down platter, amazing stuff!

    Dear Jonathan,
    After rethinking your previous video about direct drive vs belt driven turntables, where you stated that we can hear the minute variations in speed due to stretching and shrinking of the belt, i wonder in what order of magnitude the old (say 1950 +) old cutting lathes and tape-recorders had speed variations. When your turntable is 100% stable but the old recorders etc were not THAT stable, does makes the OMA tt sense?
    In what order of magnitude does a belt driven TT varies its speed?
    ;) don't worry, your answer will not influence my buying an OMA TT ..... my bank-account however does.

      Superimposing speed variations onto (different) speed variations causes oscillation. In other words, eliminating any variable makes sense.

      Those aren't Monoblocs unless Jonathan has been experimenting lately. That's the new Special K amp using KT-88 tubes that are triode-wired. It's a 400 lb beast of an amp that sounds sublime.

      looks like it's scaled to do 16" discs, so probably around 400mm ya

      Flokason in Switzerland has been manufacturing direct drive motors for all Neumann lathes over the past two to three years.They are widely used across Europe replace the Lyrec.The specifications and motor control are incredibly.I suggest you look at his website to take some inspiration.
