Nifty if it works, but not sure it will sound any better. More for techno lovers

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Looks fundamentally flawed to me. The arm is fixed rigidly to chassis while the platter is floating. Any lateral movement of the platter will not be followed by the arm and will result in a change in platter/arm geometry. And remember how tiny the groove modulations are.
Still, it looks pretty cool and that will probably outweigh all other considerations for the target market.

Was something similar not done once before ?
Problem with this is that the magnetic force required to lift a platter that high is going
to interfere with the workings of the cartridge and possibly the arm. The platter floating
that high would also be open to movement, way to stop that is you would need a spindle
for the platter to float around.
People elsewhere are also saying that the advertizing film has been messed with in some way, as in
there was a spindle but it has been as they say, Photoshopped to remove it.

Looks cool and would probably sell nicely as a commercial product for ppl who just want to spin some records.
But it has soooooooo many bad practice stuff in it for high-end reproduction....
