I note with interest that in the designer's responses to questions in the above link, he states that they use "blocking material" (whatever that might be) which means that _most_ MM cartridges are unaffected. He also admits that MC cartridges _are_ affected for the time being.
I can't help thinking that this levitating turntable is little more than an interesting exercise in what can be achieved, rather than having any practical advantage for day-to-day vinyl playback. The limitations of the medium itself far outweigh any shortcomings in the manner by which the platter is rotated.
