This is a DIY audio forum. WhyTF would we want to have one of these ????
Too much of a faf.
Over engineered and probably over priced.
Get a Lenco L75, service and re-plinth it.
Enjoy the music.

I can barely believe to comments like this that there is any actual value in the statement!
I did a little more digging around, and the opinions of those who have heard it seem consistent - even on forums where cynicism is rampant. In essence, it does the job at least as well as anything else out there. Now, whether this is due to the principles espoused by the designer, or because of the excellence of the fundamental engineering of the unit is in dispute - my interest is in understanding why this particular design has hit an apparent sweet spot ...
Looking at the pictures reminded me of an Oil Rig.
I've heard it - the only one in the UK.
I can't say I was struck by the increase in detail/resolution. However, I would add that the dominant part of that system was the appalling speakers being used!
The process is stabilised already, by the torsional component already present in a decks suspension. The speed of rotation of the platter is just not great enough to make this a problem.
It is an overly elaborate solution to a non-existent problem. Introducing another platter, bearing and motor to a turntable is likely to introduce more issues than those that it may 'conceptually' resolve.
I've read the manufacturers hypothesis and it is conceptually valid in that the rotating platter does impart rotational torque to the chassis. However, I don't agree with the hypothesis regarding the sonic impact of that torque or the solution.
Remember, the platter is supposed to be rotating at a constant and unvarying speed. The moment of rotation is a fixed. The actual moment is quite low, as is the platters velocity.
In this case, the deck uses two completely independent platters, bearings and motors. If there is any variation in the speed of these two platters relative to each other it is likely to introduce significantly more rotational instability that if it were not there.
I would be curious to know more details? Do you remember the entire set up, from cartridge to cables to preamp to power amp speaker cable and speakers?
