The longer I studied the system's components and the technical specifications in the white papers, and the more often I spoke with Craig Milnes, the stronger my impression became that probably no other turntable has challenged and re-evaluated so many supposed certainties as the Prime Meridan system. Just one example: Anyone who has ever seen the GMT® One system in all its splendour and size at a trade show, or even just in good pictures, will likely be just as surprised as I was by Craig Milnes' answer to my question about what is responsible for the system's incredibly high resolution and level of detail: "The tonearm cable." I'll explain what that means later…

Thanks to this concise list, you'll not only be familiar with the components involved, but also with Wilson Benesch terminology and its spelling. Sales and Marketing Director Luke Milnes wrote in an email: “The fundamental difference between the GMT® One system and the Prime Meridian system is the use of a pneumatic, microprocessor-controlled isolation system in the GMT® One, which is self-levelling, while in the Prime Meridian we use the FrACTal damping system. … It's also important to note that Prime Meridian owners can upgrade to the GMT® One system by upgrading the FrACTal system to the LeVeL system by adding four pneumatically driven contact points and an air compressor.”
