most extreme turntables
The fact that vinyl is somewhat obsolete is exactly what drives the quixotic ambitions of high end turntable manufacturers to produce ever more extreme engineering solutions to sliding a diamond through a wavy notch and amplifying the wobble.
The common ground here is to make a very heavy and rock solid platter and to move the motor as far away from it as possible, to avoid interference. The prices of these things range from under $1000 to a staggering $150,000

“At breakfast, when you butter your toast, if the butter is at the right temperature, your knife lays the butter on the toast, gliding voluptuously without ever touching the bread. In a similar way, at the top of the axis of the “new turntable”, two blades making a 120 degree angle, spread the oil on the superior stop, maintaining a thick lubricating bath on which the whole weight of the turntable can rest.”
“The platter is anti-corodal 12 kg. The shaft is not inverted, the diameter is 20 mm, long140 mm, chrome plating 2/10 thick, diamond polished, synthesized bronze bearings, lithium grease lubrication, opposed balls(replaceable) as thrust surfaces”.
