Dear Lewn, Thanks for your very informative answer, now I understand what exactly is the Kenwood maglev: it´s like Clearaudio´s. After my very recent experience I also exactly understand what´s happening in the bearing, both mechanically and sonically. Very rigid link between TA pivot and bearing, despite its "partly" maglev. The maglev takes most of the platter´s weight, but not all. Hard metal tip´s contact to thrust pad is still very solid, so basically it´s a mechanical bearing. Must sound fantastic. Congrats.
However, one can´t stop Evolution as it keeps on going...
The Salvation maglev is an antithesis to any mechanical bearing, as far as I know. And this kinda true maglev quite literally takes the whole idea of TT bearing to higher level. I´m running this kind of a maglev, my implementation is different but the end result, both technically and sonically is basically just the same.
However, I must point out that the heavy Salvation platter compared to my lighter platter gives even more better performance. I fully understand this without having not listened to Vic´s TT.
The answer lies in a very dense & thus strong magnetic field.
This makes platter´s spinning very solid, there´s absolutely no wobbling, even in the microscopic level, I feel for sure after having heard this in my own system. I can assure that I must use much force to apply pressure on the spindle and it certainly does not keep bouching up & down after a push.
Evolution has come to the point that we are facing a new world in Analog Audio. This is as revolutionary as Einstein´s theory of Relativity a hundred years ago. A new idea, a new world. Welcome to 2014´s physics ;)
Oh yes, and astronomers just found gravitational particles. The Universe is much larger than we have known so far `Ö´
