I disagree with many concussions and methods that those guys use but still I appreciate that people took the task and tied to attach is as good as they know of:

“After carefully reviewing the marketplace and the technology currently being used we believed it was time for a new approach. The technology did not, in our opinion, properly address several key performance elements. It was apparent that considerable advances were easily possible.”

Although many comments they make in their White Paper document (I recommend to read) are absurd:

“The single most critical element of any turntable’s performance is the platter speed control. The more accurate the platter speed control the more accurate the frequency reproduction of the turntable.”

…still it is worth to familiarize with the thinking about the 21st Century turntable. Ironically, despite of my disagreement with the literature that this company use to promote their TT’ idea I kind of like what they end up with. I never seen/heard this TT. There was a review by David W. Robinson:

but I did not read it as soon I saw Dynavector DV 507 tonearm I did not read any further.

Anyhow, here is the GrandPrix take on the subject of “Ultimate Turntable”.
