Mag-Lev Turntables


I’m very interested in this turntable as many are. Fair warning, $2200 is the regular price, go to their site. You won’t find the model recently advertised here for $3100, that’s a fake markup and then said to be “on sale”. Just buy them direct when new, no value in a pass through seller who is not local to you and offers no other value. If you do have one, how is it?😊

I got in on a kickstarter campaign and thankfully it worked out great:the Degritter Record Cleaner.   The team seemed a class act from the beginning and that never waned.   Now they seem to be relatively successful.
Interesting read! The SOTA Cosmos Eclipse uses a Mag-Lev plater and I was seriously contemplating getting one until now.

"Platter Fixture

Stainless Steel shaft, machined sintered bronze sleeves hand fit for each table. Platter levitates on the force of opposing magnets."


There are several conventional turntables where the platter is wholly or partially supported by a magnetic field, but in the vertical direction only.  All of them have a horizontal mechanical bearing of the usual type.  Those have nothing to do with the one particular unique turntable that is being batted around on this thread.
"The use of the new 3-phase motor in this package, combined with the mounting of the motor to the cabinet instead of the sub-chassis, as well as noise floor improvements from the new mag-lev platter assembly, yields a new Cosmos that is significantly quieter than older models."
