Go for it, Dave. A magnetic suspension system might be very interesting indeed.

Sounds all a bit Marty McFly to me!!!!!!
I've often thought about it, the japs have the hover train sorted?????
Set up right, varying the magnetic field could potentially change the amount of damping. I guess the question is are we looking to get it rigid or doe we want some flexibility for damping effect??? Also, do we want such strong magnetic fields near the equipment???

Photo bucket - loads of mods!
SL1200- DIY PSU- DIY FET int regs-Denon DL103 by Expert Stylus Company on Isokenetic stabiliser & Sumiko HS-12 shell- Achromat - Isonoe feet, Meridian 200 Phono satge, Junson JA-88D, Audio Aero Capitole CD/ DAC, extreme modified Marantz SA7001, Squeezebox Touch modded to death!, Focal 826WSE- Kimber 8TC, Kimber and CAT5 attenuated DIY Interconnects, Kimber mains
"Leave Nothing as Standard"
Personally, I think the damping combined with isolation of the Isonoes is just right for the mass of the Technics. I think a magnetic system could have potential, but it would have to go some to beat the Isonoes on performance and, ultimately, sound quality.
