Great minds think along the same lines. A couple of days ago, I was thinking of a fluid driven turntable platter. What I was thinking was to have a plinth with spiral grooves cut into it. The platter (perhaps with radial grooves) would float on a consistant flow of oil. The oil could be purely gravity fed, thereby completely isolating the 'table from pump noise. Speed could be varied by the amount of oil in the accumulator tank. Sure, it is completely impractical and may be a bigger disaster than the time I tried to steal Imi Litchtenfeld's wallet, but their may be something to it.
