Of course if you could get the temperature low enough you could use a
superconducting magnet and lose no power so no stray fields.

Permanent magnets. It runs. It plays records. I saw one at CES this
year. I think it's more for amazing and amusing your friends than for
being a superior way to play records, though I expect that the isolation
from vibration is excellent. Just the thing for playing your old Bob
Dylan or Aerosmith LPs during an earthquake.

** Mike Rivers is a credible enough guy.

So as expected, is uses powerful ( likely Neodymium ) magnets.

There has to be a second rotating table under the main one, out of sight.
