If they can do it with trains, a turntable shouldn't be that difficult.

When you take into account the puny power consumption, 50mm of lift that disappears when the power goes off PLUS and that a magnetic phono PU must not be upset by strong or rapidly varying mag fields - it looks an impossible task.

But pictures like the ones I linked don't lie.


One of the things I learnt early on was that pictures nearly always lie :-)

Pictures don't lie because they don't speak, but of course they can be faked by people with an interest in so doing.

This page from the "What Hi-Fi" site shows Mag Lev Audio's exhibit at the Munich High End Show a month or so ago.

Scroll down about 1/3 of the way.

If you believe in conspiracy theories and consider the whole audio industry is in on the Mag Lev scam - that pic musty be fake too.
