Talks with OMA K Series turntable designer Richard Krebs - Part 3

The last of a 3-part conversation with OMA's K Series turntable designer and engineer Richard Krebs, conducted in front of a live audience at the Munich 2023 High End Audio Show.
The K5 Turntable from OMA is the little brother to the K3. K5 shares all the same features as K3 in a smaller, more accessible package.

Absolutely fascinating series. It should be required watching for anyone who wants a new turntable or is new to turntables

[@JerseyPB]

Another great interview.

Spectacular!

Early Scully and Neumann lathes certainly didn’t have the speed accuracy of this turntable. Can you hear the speed inconsistencies of those lathes when playing back records cut on the aforementioned lathes on this turntable?

[@analogjames3429]

Yes one can on K3 or K5

How would this system interact with an optical cartridge?

Something makes no sense here, why is it when people talk about their high end Direct Drive Turntable’s like the Technics SL 1000R and they adjust the torque settings to the highest “which some would say is more accurate” the sound in inferior to the low or medium setting.
I’m thinking the magic of analog and how inaccurate it can be maybe this applies to exact speed as well. Surely precise speed isn’t possible though the whole process of making an album so why or how could it make it sound better now. 🤔
