New Mag-Lev Turntable

That was supposed to be suspended. 

I'm still not getting how a spended platter and direct coupled tonearm to the plinth is suppose to be a good thing.

Major issues with that, I would think.

I would think that anything that separates the platter and tone arm, allowing either to be suspended independently from the other would be a problem.

I think that air bearing tone arms are considered rigid, and they fall within the same tolerances as standard bearings. I'm not so sure that this magnetic platter design does. From the video you can clearly see a large variance where the platter deviates from flat. Now, whether that is from loose tolerances when manufacturing the platter or suspension effect is unknown.
 
Also, it would be interesting to knock the side of the plinth and see what happens to the platter, as well as, what happens to the whole table while playing an album.

Ok, that video answered some questions for me. Hit the platter and it wobbles side to side while the arm remains static. How in the world is that suppose to track without distortion and possibly skipping. Now, if they levitated the arm on a beam connected to the same plain as the platter, e.g., Rega, and it could move in accordance to the same micro and macro vibrations I might consider it. 

Also, you can clearly see how much the platter wobbles during normal playback. Whether that is uneven levitation or poor platter tolerances it is not a good thing.

I'll pass on this big time.

What holds true for macro vibrations, hold true for micro.

Look at the wobble in the platter, duh!

I think that Rega is defective and not representative of their tolerance standards.

BTW, if it is not, what does one bad design have to do with another?

geoffkait,

Looks like you really like the engineering of this table and it is a perfect fit for you. Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to your review after you receive one.

How about those that look forward, those that look backwards and those that look all around. That would make 5 groups.

......and those that have their eyes closed. So, that would make 6 groups in all.

.......maybe we can include side to side and call it seven groups!

.....or those that have their heads up their butt! Now it is eight!

Nope. I'll wait this one out. Maybe I'm looking all around or maybe I have my head up my butt. Time will tell.
