Actually it is surprisingly interesting. It is a German company and they do a fascinating and it appears to be appealing turntable

I like the configuration: simple and with no-nonsense. The base looks like polymer presumably with solid mass. The platter is steel-type, presumable non-magnetic. The TT has not too overlay sophisticated bearing but the top layer of platter – the brose layer is decoupled from the bottom steel layer with polymer layers. I am sure that if the density and mass of that polymer layer to tune properly then the design might yield very interesting results. I like the idea quite a lot.

The same company does the 3-motor version that I believe is foolishness…

…but the initials direction of the TW-Acoustic I found quite fascinating. I never seen it or heard it but it looks like it is $10K turntable - very much worth attention.
