Mag-Lev Turntables

Just read the fine print in the owners manual.  That alone would be enough to discourage me.  If you want a conversation piece, then maybe.

I can't decide if it looks goofy or cool or both. I wouldn't want one though.

If someone gave me one, I would set it up and have it running somewhere in my house as a piece of kitsch, like one of those lava lamps, because it is fascinating to watch.  But I wouldn't use it to play LPs.  That's just me.

All,

After watching it run on YouTube videos, I’m not so sure it’s ready for prime time. However, technology improves and does oust the sacred standbys we believe are irreplaceable. This may be a game changer in terms of cost and eventually performance given more time. It’s always ok to challenge the past and the past price tag. My point was to inform audiogon users of the actual price point as some third party sellers are attempting to add $1000 of cost and then represent the item as “on sale” at the MSRP.  This practice will also go by the wayside as buying direct continues. I do believe that paying a markup at a local outlet who provides setup and service after the sale is still a good idea, as long as you know what you’re paying for. It might be to early for this technology but isn’t it great that vinyl is back and turntable innovation continues? I think so. Digital is cool, but why not have the best of both worlds? Don’t sell your vinyl! 😊

"I’m very interested in this turntable as many are."

Who are these "many?"

Looks like a conversation piece for the coffee table. Something you just have and not hooked up. Turn it on, and look at it, while your proper system is playing a record.
