I made the mistake of having the sound on and my wife nearby when I played that video.
I got into a lot of trouble when liking this turntable from my vested interest friends. It has no arm resonance. It needs a record cleaning machine like the Monks ( or similar , not vacuum cleaner type, nor ultrasonic ) to work properly as there is no stylus to assist. ELP can scan different parts of the groove to find undamaged areas. Imagine Caruso as it was pressed from a low grade disc. Sn ratio is about - 55 db which seems OK, listen for yourself. Personally I find the sound like CD with vinyl easy of listening. Very open. I am told the short comings become obvious when the novelty wears off. I doubt that.
One thing I like is that the stylus drag will not create dynamic wow. Also if direct drive cogging is less likely.

There have been turntable mats with carbon fiber to decharge LPs, like the DStat mat, that seem to work reasonably well.

How does touching the hot of one coil to the "ground" of the other complete a circuit ? If the coils are separate of each other does any thing happen ? I would have thought a special sweep record would be sold for this purpose with virgin snake oil lub.

Listen again its about putting both coils in series ....

I'm glad, he's a very dedicated person. In his DD LPs, he even set levels and then replaced the pots with fixed resistors.
Interesting ... tape hiss is surprisingly high - but the aspect that intrigues me is the classic, steady degrading of the SQ as a particular snippet of the track proceeds - same old behaviour as always, but I haven't noticed it so prominently in a system for quite some time - anyone else pick it? It's particularly obvious in the House of the Rising Sun bit - starts off pristine, and gradually gets more murky as that segment of sound proceeds ...

The SQ variation is so definite it must show some obvious traits - I'm downloading that clip at the highest available rate at the moment, will try looking at, analysing the waveform to see if I can pick something obvious, a telltale signature of the artifact - could prove valuable as a resource for understanding ...
