Clearaudio TT5 tangential tonearm


Hi:

I am entering analog world and seek your opinion about Clearaudio’s new TT5 tangential tonearm. On paper tangential tonearms seem extremely convincing and pivoted tonearms seem a compromise from the start.

Can you please share your experience with Clearaudio TT5/3/2 tangential tonearm? Are the metal wheels on glass tube mechanism inherently noisy? Any maintenance issues?

Regards
haroon

Dear Chris, Goldmund (aka P. Lurne) produced two, say,

''conventional linear tracker'' which were an nightmare to

adjust but sounded excelent. Those ''air bearing'' kinds look

like patients in the intensive care room. So consequently only

the  very obstinate or very brave persons are  willing to mess

with either kind (grin).
