1:36 - Wow! Listening to the music, sitting side to the stereo in room with glass walls - priceless :D

Guy has enough money to buy a small island. Uses entry-level Ortofon cartridge.

[BrianSmith-vlxu]

Going by the advert, if you're a filthy rich batchelor with no kids or pets. Then this is the record player for you.

Great idea -- Finally! I managed to successfully create a mag-lev listening chair, which effectively de-couples me from the floor of my house. The house is subject to incredibly annoying rumble from passing cars, sewer lines, and air currents. I first tried to mag-lev my entire house, but settled on this much more convenient solution. It also saved me about $23, 000, 000.00. Unfortunately, it still left my Clearaudio Statement TT at the mercy of rumble. This is perfection! They can have my money any day, and more where that came from!

[Kluneberg]

Taking being a hipster to a whole new level. Not gonna lie though, it looks cool as fuck.

[zeram]

What happens to the sound when my dog bites on it, thinking that it’s a frisbee? Will my Pavarotti start sounding like Howling Wolf?

[Toilet_Sniper]

When will the upgrade to the levitating laser pickup be announced?

[cowmandaman]

Way to sit way out of the range of the speakers. Do you also stand on your head to watch movies?

[ganymede]

Humanity stands upon the cusp of a new era. Converging technology and exponential innovation combine to give us... a slightly impractical but cool looking record player!

[Diatonicth]

They're obviously targeting the "modern douchebag" demographic with this ad. How about some specs on speed stability, electromagnetic interference with the cartridge, and fluctuations in the leveling of the platter during playback?

[TheStache]

way cool turntable. like to see and hear how it performs.

[meowchin]

What's the point of levitating platter, if the head is not levitating?

[teampredominant]

I want 2 and a levitating crossfader too

[randygefell]

Um- I see a turntable . . . I see the speakers . ...  I see the records . . . . where is the preamp / poweramp for this system?

[magicmoo]

Well done. You managed to incorporate everything that's wrong with car ads these days. From the nonsensical modern alpha man ramblings to what pretty much looks like a CGI render of the actual product. I guess that's marketing for you.

Hope to see an actual prototype in action before the end of your kickstarter campagin. Knowing the pretty heavy constraints associated with vinyl playback, it frankly is very hard to believe that it will be up to standards.

[andrewsusay]

Brilliant....solves the floor noise which will be picked up by the stylus. It also solves noise or damage to the stylus and vinyl when the tables is shaken. However, with the magnetic technology rotating the turntable, i wonder if the rpm is precise.

[dantelectro]

What's with all that smoke? (1:35) Is it coming from the player?

[blueribb]

Now I have to decide between a new car and a new record player :)

[Radihed]

There are maniacs out there that believe that the black paint in vinyl can carry enough magnetic charge to influence the metal needle... Those people must have a heart attack imagining a massive magnet underneath the record.

[juliusglickstein]

Looks cool. however the add doesn't show what is happening after he turns the TT "ON". How it elevates the platter. I heard that the price is actually cheap about $800, however again with or without the needle? In comparison with mid priced audiophile TT at about $5000 and good needle at about $1000 its really cheap. Would be nice to see it working at the store first.
