I have a hard time believing that their marketing material did not get proofread by someone technically adept. It would be unexpected that someone can design multiple widely-praised machines and have no clue what she/he is talking about.
"...everyone knows that silicon is a crystalline element that is as far from being compliant and vibration damping..."Could the trick be that Technics does not use silicone, but silicone rubber?
