Default Turntable "suspended in a vacuum" to prevent vibrations?

It is magnetically suspended. The vacuum will prevent air currents from

of the cartridge somewhat, and I am not sure what it will do to the
record/stylus interface.


Would it also accelerate the leaching of plasticizers from the vinyl?


Maybe, but you're putting the thing in there for only an hour or so at
a time. Be a fun thing to measure, though.
