Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable

Oh and Terry9, good work on your own table. I'm not surprised that you are in love with it as you should be. We all love our own children regardless of just about anything.

Terry9, have a SOTA Cocmos and an SME 30/12 and no matter how hard I try I can not hear the bearing on either turntable. How do I know?

Audiophile Rule # 27

"One needs to remove the noise - before the difference can be heard"  

For your specific example both your SOTA and SME use conventional mechanical bearings. Bring into your room a turntable without a mechanical bearing - and you will hear.

I just love arrogance on full display......

If you have seen the video of the table, it is clear that it cannot do even the basics of delivering decent performance--the platter wobbles like crazy.  Even if this were not a concern, I don't see how it delivers any advantage at all--the arm and cartridge, which are the components that are most sensitive to, and need protection from, vibration, is anchored to a base that is not suspended.  The drive element of the system is located in the base and will be a source of motor vibration even if the platter and rotor elements are suspended in air.

this table has been out for a while and the platter wobble defect is very obvious. I don’t think the target buyer cares or realizes the problems this causes. The record and cartridge are always the victims. If its no longer made I am not surprised.
