Bergmann Galder Turntable


Anybody have any experience owning, listening to or demoing the Bergmann Galder turntable.  Would appreciate some perspectives.

Thanks

It is a very nice turntable but. It is not a true air bearing. It is a spindle bearing floating on an air thrust cushion. Kuzma is the only company making a true air bearing turntable. The Bergmann has a very nice vacuum clamping system. The turntable is not very well suspended, isolation is questionable. The tonearm is problematic as all air bearing straight line trackers are. For this kind of money I would jump on a Dohmann Helix 2 in a heartbeat. The only thing that is missing is vacuum clamping and my understanding is that it is forthcoming.
