Fern & Roby Cast Iron Turntable?

https://goo.gl/lwH4Rn

I ran across this in a modern design magazine called Dwell. Thought it might provide an interesting topic for some. I've seen a solid aluminum table costing a great deal more, but never a cast iron one. Seems like it would ring like a bell, but the designers say that non-resonance is one of the key characteristics of cast iron that led to its choice.

I am unsure what the material is on top of the bronze platter. If it is the bronze itself it has innumerable fissures, cracks and pockets, which I would think is hard to balance.
A very massive plinth of iron which they indicate is damped, isn't hard to believe. In any event, this stylish table is probably very expensive.
