Tough to find anything without a gimmick or three these days, for sure.
Well, I wonder about a few things, like the 1/8" "round" drive "belt", the copper surface (why copper, other than exclusivity?), and I also wonder if there is a provision on either bearing face to retain and redistriubute displaced lubricant, because I didn't notice anything like this. Additionally, if they are on the right track with their approach, then why do they think their top model needs 3 motors? This MIGHT put this particular model into the "Accidental Success" catagory, right along with most other decent audio "products".
Also, still griding the same old axe, are TT manufacturers really saying vacuum HD does not help, or are they just avoiding it to keep costs "in line"; or are they just not dealing with it?
Still, I think materials choice here is better than the "carbon fiber" for this application, although if polymer, then I think sintered material is best, at least according to tap tests.
But it is likely better than solid acrylic (also according to "tap" tests).
Nice arm mounts...
Still looking for the Ultimate Turntable...
