    I love mag-lev stuff, but this return to turntables seems ridiculous to me.  Maybe I'll wait for the return of the 8-track tape next... YMMV.

    This is what you really want.
     

     
    It'd look amazing right next to that KISS pinball I'm dreaming of...

    I love how the guy puts in right in front of the dartboard too.

    I don't know how that thing can work. The cartridge assembly requires fluctuations in a small magnetic field to generate very small voltages. The levitation of the platter requires massive magnetic field strength. I don't see how the two can live together without the massive magnetic field distorting the output from the cartridge.

    I would assume this technology is immune from hard walking steps on a bouncy type floor (e.g., wood). I recall having to tip-toe around my turntable.

    Broken pencils are pointless.

    Plus you'd have to de-magnetize your records after each use.
     
    Fortunately, such a device exists. 


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    When you read the "logic" behind this device it reinforces my thoughts on the Mag-Lev. It's all bollocks.
