Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of

LEVITATION ISOLATION
I built my own. Does that Count? I used opposing Neodymium magnets mounted in six inch long tubes. While not totally isolating as you might expect from the name it works rather well. The opposing magents slip and slide so there will always be some...
