Magnetic levitating turntable shelf-opinions?

I have seen two different types of magnetic levitation shelves/platforms for turntables, etc. These would not be hard to make and incorporate into a custom component rack system I'm currently working on.

Does anyone have personal experience with this type of product? Specifically, if you are using it for vibration isolation of a turntable are you satisfied that using such powerful magnets near a cartridge is not interferring with the cartridge performance?

For you scientists out there the magnets used are neodymium and yes, I realize how dangerous they can be to work with.

Thanks for the input,
Patrick

Sony made opposed magnet feet in the 70's. "Espirit Line" methinks it was called. Heavy and expensive too. Eliminates all the home made contraption issues. Actually worked. Made that Bulgarian Scrubwomen Choir (the 'reference' show-off LP at the time) really open up and separated the voices. IMHO, fully disclaimered, and showing my age.
