I thought, it would be for you :-) but I think, it is (or was) below your level...
The discussion was about a German Raven Turntable and what next Turntable should be chosen when the owner don't want to have it anymore....
... in that discussion you found everything from your Grandmother to the 3. World War and there was a point about Turntable Design in general ...with some posts from a few who use such Devices (or similar)...When I did understand it correctly, the active vibraplane is filled with a compressor, when the pressure in the feet go down, the compressor starts automaticallyto fill them up. The passive hold the air and when you do a change on the platform you have to pump it up again. No big difference for me.Minus-K is mechanical from what I read, so no air, but it is limited in size and loading. The other ones are working with mains but based on minor information I don't know their results. The Halcyonics for example is about 8000 euros when I remember right (size useable for a Turntable).I remember a conversation from MylesB Astor, he was in a office from one of these manufacturers years ago and asked him to think about a production for High End customers. They threw him out. They do serious research.... some time later SOS made a connection to them, but I think, it is still ordered via hospitals....
