Clearaudio " Innovation" - What?


Clearaudio has been around for a while and has quite a few well made models to cater for different ends of the vinyl market. I've noted their most recent models are called CA Innovation wood turntables which looks quite attractive where as I find most of their past acrylic models unappealing.

Calling their new model "Innovation" is a bit pretentious perhaps. I'm just wondering what true innovations has Clearaudio brought to the vinyl playback over the years? I'm curious to learn from those who has more knowledge on the subject.

I realise it is a marketing jargon. I observe a lot of adopting and may be refinement of others ideas ( delrin composite platter, magnetic bearing, sandwich plinth, swinging arm boards,etc) that has all been done before. I was wondering if they has been any real ground breaking work from CA...
CA clearly produce some well made turntables and other products over the years. I like their newer Innovation models with the Delrin platter and panzerholz sandwich plinth. The current model name is just that but it prompts my query about any design/advancement for vinyl playback over the years with their resources and engineering know how.
