In a time when 45s have become commonplace, in some cases preferred, I would say that a manufacturer of a turntable not offering that speed only means one thing to me, that they don't know what they are doing. Maybe I'll build and market a car without a low gear or without overdrive.
Jadis Debuts New Turntable at "CES 2104"
While granite is a very rigid, high mass material, it also has a relatively high resonant frequency, which he trust the designer has taken care to damp.
The 'table weighs 176 pounds and has only four rotating parts: the motor, pulley, tray and axis (the later two are their lingo for 'bearing').
The price, including a unipivot tonearm is $59,900. The only sticking point is that the 'table shown plays at 33 1/3 only. Fortunately, the final production model will play both 33 1/3 and 45rpm.

The first thing I thought when I read this was a Ferrari without first gear! Ravenacustic got to it before me. That said, why not just buy a second; dedicate one to 33 and the other to 45. I'll just trade in my non-existent Ferrari and get right on that.

Might as well get separate tables for separate speeds. We've already got CDs, computers, separate dacs, music on vinyl, aluminum, and now software on a hardrive. I won't mention separate amps for headphones. IMO vinyl is beginning to look less costly and easier to use.
