Your turn-of-phrase "zero contact under my components" is philisophically inspiring. The magnetic force is nonetheless real and is surely a viable option for isolating your equipment.
One of the attributes of such a suspension system could be continuously tuneable motion damping implemented by inserting coils with variable series resistance into the magnetic field to dissipate kinetic energy to and from the table. This damping could be custom tuned over a wide range. Such damping schemes prevent large oscilations in analogue meters, for example, and a search of the web will find other illustrations of this. You should consider this mode of damping if you are going to design your own platform.
I think that given the ability to tune the stiffness and damping of these "magnetic shock absorbers" might provide a compromise between isolation and dissipation and allow for an effective, critically damped system.
No doubt this has been thought of for audio applications in which case it would interesting to know about.
