If the platter was fully levitated then it would essentially become the plinth. Choice of material/s would then be the key issue.
When I used to work in robotics research my colleagues began to check out high temperature superconducting (HTS) bearings. They have interesting potential in turntables. Boeing were also looking into the for flywheel/energy conservation duties.
