After 35 years (starting in 1980 with the Merrill Heirloom) a turntable has achieved total energy management.
The Rubber Elastomer Acoustic Laminate (R.E.A.L.) turntable has an 18 point patent # 8,406,112B2
No big chunks of metal or hunks of plastic are substitutes for solid engineering.
No mater how absurd the price of other turntables the REAL 101.2 will out perform any turntable at any price.
Introducing the REAL 101.2 Manufactured in the USA
The difference between the 101 and the 101.2 One: There are two arm mounting platform 4.64 inch to accommodate 9-10 inch arms and a 6 3/4 inch that will accommodate a 12 inch arm. Can be exchanged in about one minute . This will allow the use of as many tone arms as you wish. Two: The speed strobe is now machined on the bottom of the platter. It is viewed using a mirror. Three: The skin is phenolic ( black) instead of aluminum ( silver)

Q/A what is the design difference between the original Merrill Heirloom and Merrill–Williams R.E.A.L. 101.2

The first generation Merrill Heirloom was designed in late 1970.
It had many new ENERGY MANAGEMENT approaches to turntable design:
• The first use of acrylics.
• Cast anti magnetic fluid damped motor pod.
• Oil well bearing.
• Constant resonant tuning system.
• A subchassis integrated tonearm mounting platform for energy management control.
• Decoupled and lead damped outer record support platter.
• Aluminum resin driven platter.
• Copolymer drive pulley.
• Digital motor drive system.
• Critical elasticity calculation for the belt’s low pass filter action.
• Seven layer lead damped plinth.
• The first use of a periphery clamping ring.
SECOND GENERATION of the Heirloom
• After the Heirloom production had stopped for many years the design was reborn as the Merrill-Scillia MS-2 and MS21.
• These turntables were manufactured as an absolute exact copy of the Heirloom design.
• The major improvement to the new production was the polymer material used in the subchassis and the outer support platter. This turntable was heralded with exceptional reviews.
• Class A in Stereophile for 3 1/2 years (review November 2007).
• A Super review from 6 moons. (John Potis)
THIRD GENERATION
The Merrill-Williams R.E.A.L. 101.2 is again (as the original Heirloom) a totally new approach to turntable design. Using a patented R.ubber E.lastomeric A.coustic L.aminate along with other new innovations, the Energy Management Design principles are raised to a new level. The sonic performance overshadows the original Heirloom design by a wide margin.

The 101.2 will be available in about 8 weeks. Sold by select dealers who understand and care about selling their clients performance not hype. The start of the system is the heart of the system!
