Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable

I just got this email. I don't know if it's good or bad. It will definitely get the attention of anyone walking into your audio room. Does anyone own one? Joe https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/mag-lev-audio-f3121a62-bcd0-46e9-a32b-df70180d0f84?open=1&au...

Buying one of those would be a reason to get a Rolex Milgauss.

I've always wondered how they manage wow and flutter in that floating  platter, with no side load correction it would wobble all over the place I'm thinking. How do they keep VTA constant? lots of strange ness there, maybe it works but like other I feel its a gimmick.

According to several posters on Vinyl Asylum, this company or this product has gone under.  The stories are conflicting.  One is that it cost too much to produce.  Another is that it cannot work with an MC cartridge because of the magnetic field.  And finally, another person wrote that it plain does not work reliably.

It is a good idea but the project is still immature ihmo, so it was put on the market to start returning expenses incurred for idea and production.
