All of the the Mystere's components and sub-assemblies follow a resonance-optimized, variable-curve and -angle design approach, which is most obviously exemplified in the turntable's elegant platter, with its unique shape devoid of nearly any parallel surfaces. The same design principles apply to the Mystere's interchangeable, high-gloss, solid-wood frame. As Hartmut Roemer mentioned on the side, considerable design efforts and multiple prototypes were necessary to integrate the turntable's complex technologies into such a compact and visually elegant envelope. Personally, I think that the extra effort which has been invested into this aspect of the Mystere's development has paid off more than well. After decades of handling countless turntables with their prevailing industrial "machine" designs, the Mystere's sophisticated beauty and harmonic finesse alone makes one want to have one.

The Mystere's high inertia platter is manufactured from a proprietary "balanced-spectrum alloy"™, which, in combination with its design, is said to reduce parasitic resonances, standing wave-, energy storage- and delayed-release-(memory) effects in the platter. The turntable's custom alloy is rumoured to contain titanium—as one of multiple metals. The Mystere features a proprietary air bearing, which was developed in cooperation with a leading technical university research laboratory. The turntable's custom, aerostatic platter bearing is built to molecular-mechanics research standards to secure, long-term consistency and the lowest technically possible bearing friction under all climate conditions.The bearing maintains the platter fully air-suspended with zero mechanical contact to the rest of the turntable, to provide ultimate immunity of the grove reading process from environmental mechanical impacts and chassis-to-platter energy feedback and feed-through effects. The platter's radial run out (spindle centering) and axial run out (planarity) are specified as well below one micron.

The turntable employs a non-cogging, multiple-pole, high-torque motor, again built to molecular-mechanics standards, which are devoid of disperse magnetic flux effects. Its very high spin capacity of up to 1.2 tons eliminates all groove-tracing "brake" and speed-variation effects from the platter rotation, and according to its designer hence provides dynamic signal tracing fidelity and timing precision well beyond belt drives, conventional direct drives and idler wheel drive technologies. The drive train implements a re-programmable "soft" algorithm, logic drive-controller with up to 16 million times per rotation resolution and is adjusted for a speed ripple of smaller than < 0,08. In addition, the Mystere implements a, new, proprietary "virtual-constant-counterforce" technology to eliminate the typical "after-the-fact" regulation time-lag and regulation-impulse overshoot effects found in alternative speed control systems.

The Mystere comes with a self-contained laboratory-standard compressor unit with integrated air-filter and reservoir, cooling, and moisture-extraction facilities. Its logic controller employs comprehensive safe-run and protection routines. Two digital displays on the compressor-controller unit inform about air pressure and system status. All components of the Mystere turntable system are generously oversized for 24/365 operation to provide long term reliability with the least maintenance requirements.
