No MC cartiridges allowed? Oops, that just shattered my dreams.

Enjoyed the review Bob. I've got a mag_lev and love it. I had to wall-mount it which is pretty tricky since it can't have any magnetic metal near it! I ended up modifying a west-elm piece and replacing all the hardware with brass. https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/tszlil2LIprjkCZhYK5X2Al0MsG1E1UWrvQVEDEFytS

The W&F number is not great either...
And I read elsewhere that the start / stop procedures are a bit more convoluted than this reviewer hints at...

I would think airborne vibrations from the speakers would cause more vibration than mag-lev would eliminate. There is no rigid coupling between the rotating platter and the tonearm pivot. How does this not manifest in unwanted/uncorrelated movement? Even if the platter could rotate with absolutely no motion or vibration, the plinth on which the tonearm is fixed would be affected by airborne and floor vibration. This would seem to suggest lab testing should be done.

I think I would rather have your magnetic drive turntable than one with a HUGE magnetic field which can interfere with pacemakers, demagnetizers (like my Talisman), tapes, etc. The review makes it a great player, potentially worth 5 times it's price in sound quality with physical limitations (magnetism, arm and cartridge restrictions).

An OM10??? On a $2900 turntable.
Not only should you toss the interconnects, but toss the cartridge as well.
