I got excited then as I thought they may be about maglev on the platter, which is something I have been thinking about with the turntable I have been working on for ever.
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

old thicko here......
I really can't make out the operating principal......is the platter floating or is it's mass sitting on the bearing?

Yes I thought there was a picture of the magnets there somewhere , quite disappointing.
Nick, what do you mean - I assumed there would be some sort of ring magnet on both the plinth and on the platter ?

It just seems to use a pair of opposing magnets to lift the platter so it isn't running on a hardened ball or bearing shaft end in the bottom of the bearing housing, but it still runs a bearing that is a shaft as normal with a set of liners

Ahh ok, it is doing what I hoped supporting the platter on a magnet like clearaudio and a few others do. Hard to see from the pictures.

I hadn't realised there were so many maglev turntables out there
