TechDAS's goal for the motor was to produce "virtually zero wobble" thanks to the combination of air and metal bearings, the "enormous" inertia generated by the flywheel effect, the extremely high S/N ratio made possible by the air bearing, and what TechDAS claims is the best speed stability and consistency of any Air Force turntable—the latter due to a new electronic drive circuit designed for stable, precise rotation with low vibration
The Zero is the most speed-consistent belt-drive turntable I've reviewed, and with its air-bearing platters and air suspension, also the quietest, best isolated, and most inert, with stable sonics, quiet, and exceptional detail resolution with no added grain or unnatural, mechanical edge definition. The Zero was also trouble- and hassle-free for six months and as much fun to use as it was to hear

The Air Force Zero turntable is very large for a turntable, but it is not as large as a house. At $450,000 for the base model, it does, however, cost as much as many houses and more than many others (footnote 1). This observation will set off howling among some audio enthusiasts of a sort that...

Let's just add it up: $450,000 for the base turntable. Add $50,000 for the tungsten top platter. Add $52,000 for the HRS stand, $14,250 for the Graham Elite arm, and an extra $9000 for the titanium armwand. That comes to $575,250
