In Soviet Russia, arm look like Moon

The only time I would allow both sides of the disk to be exposed and unsupported is if the TT was in a separate room from the speakers. The big ball around the arm bearing is ridiculous and increases mass and therefore, inertia. The disk should be fully supported so it doesn't vibrate when the sound waves from the speaker hits it.

i like the "moon" idea, but the raised ridge platter seems a resonance nightmare waiting to happen.

Really? What about it do you like?

That's a relief. I thought you meant it looked like Nikita Kruschev's butt.

The funkyway tonearm looks like it was built from an erector set.
