Uh... not seeing it Bonsai. 🙂
With what we get to read sometimes, this isn't anything to even remark on. Sounds like they want to name drop and boast a little.

That looks like UFO...
I got one for you.... a real "starship"!
It's out of this world!

The rediculousness of design regarding turntables is partly driven by superficiality - visuals.
And partly, as are famous pantings, by value. - make it expensive, and people will fight over it.
A simple thing like playing a record (yes, it can be a simple affair) is taken to such extremes in hopes of making someone rich.. as in greed-driven, which by my observations is no different than an eccentric person's behavior.
It's a sickness in some ways.
In other ways, like oil paintings, it's an expression of art. - also an attraction to entice ownership.

I’m curious what the university teams contributed. In every over-engineered product there’s often some very cool (if unnecessary) engineering.
Well... There's an eccentric hiding (sometimes not very well) inside every single person in this world.
If you take the crazy out of people, what are you left with?
nice statement.
Only difference to art:
A real artist is creating his/her art by creativity and inspiration (at least it should be like this).
This make-it-expensive-and-some-rich-fool-will-buy-it articles and only created for commercial reasons.
How bout Turntable TIMEpiece?
I made this for a friend's basement unusually decorated "man cave" a couple years back.
He loved it!

I bought a pair of Dali Oberon 5’s for the living room about a month ago. They cost me £749 and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Fabulous imaging and great bass extension with a very smooth, sweet top end. I got mine in white.
(I understand it was just designed by a bunch of Danish guys who are good at their craft. No need for ‘assembling an international team of physicists and engineers . . . Etc 😉 )

The cheapest I can find. Seriously
DAC is a £19 Logitech BT receiver and I made the cables myself (thick and decent). Amp is one of my commercial creations.

I once had a lousy hard drive in my desktop PC.
Now mind you, I'm careful of using it to eliminate its being bumped, etc.
That hard drive was a Samsung-branded unit which one day started clicking and refusing to load Windows 98SE.
As to another thread about Samsung products, I, along with others, have always found some sort of problem with that brand.
For reliability, I stick to Western Digital.
My home security DVR/camera system uses the WD "Purple" HD, which has been running flawlessly 24/7 for the past 5 years now.
Toshiba AV series (surveillance, DVR, CCTV grade)...Actually they are a Hitachi design, there were some anti trust issues, the product went to Toshiba.
Some are said to be favored by data farms, and server sites because of their low failure rates.
Reputedly better than WD.
Just my opinion.
A practical suggestion: keep the computer connected to Earth all the time, and keep checking the quality of the earthing, and also the power supply capacitors.
Those affect the life of the HDD a lot...
That scaffolding like tone arm in the first post will twist more than a round tube I think.
That thing happens when academics with little practical experience do things as a committee.
Nice clock, WOT!
