In Reply to: RE: MAG-LEV Audio: World's first levitating turntable posted by ctbarker32 on October 13, 2016 at 10:56:49
VPI has already released a maglev version of its Avenger TT. And, the maglev platter system can be retro-fit to other VPI TTs as well.
Follow Ups:
Point of clarification, VPI has released a magnetic drive platter, not a magnetic levitation platter, although the prototype VPI Vanquish does use a form of magnetic levitation similar to the Verdier table to take some of the weight off the platter.
Verdier is a serious example of a fully maglev platter, but not the first to use magnetic levitation at least to partially alleviate the weight on the bearing. For one example, the Kenwood L07D platter is partially magnetically levitated and there were several others from days of yore.
As to "magnetic drive", I am highly suspicious of its merits, because of the inherent elasticity of such a system, but doesn't the EAR turntable use something like that? And also there is an optional magnetic drive system for several of the Transrotor turntables.
Not all novel ideas are good ideas, which may be why they appear novel.
