In Reply to: Magnetic levitation for turntables posted by radiodaddy on September 11, 2006 at 10:40:46:
Magnetic levitation affects the coil of cartridges (and cantilever in many models), and royally screws with tracking if you have a metal tone arm. Moreover, metallic impurities in older vinyl can create havoc. All-wood design solutions, especially those featuring the beautiful hand-carved styli of exotic hardwoods from the Amazon, are elegant but sadly inefficient, requiring extraordinarily powerful step-up stages.So I prefer the antigravity approach to turntable design. Unfortunately, this technology is so secret that, if I even told you where to ask about it, I'd have to kill you.
