Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm?


How many of you have the Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Air Bearing linear Tone Arm? Or the older Trans-Fi Evolution Tonearm. What is your experience with this arm, how satisfied are you with this arm, and how does it compare with other tonearms you have tried?

I am seriously thinking of getting the Terminator for my VPI Super Scoutmaster with Rim Drive, but have no experience with linear tone arms. I have found just one person on Audiogon who has this arm and loves it. This fact is somewhat confusing to me, since if the arm is so great, as some people say it is, you would think more people on Audiogon would have it or at least tried it out.
Thanks,

This post has started out interesting right from the beginning. The purpose of this thread is simply to get more comments about this arm from people who have experience with it. I have done quite a bit of research into the Terminator arm so far, and I am very interested in buying the arm. I'm just trying to get as much info about the arm as I can before putting down my $1200. I have read the review and will definitely go to other forums as Johnbrown has suggested. This is a good idea. I think I over rely on Audiogon out of laziness. It may be that not enough arms have been sold for there to be a large presence of the Terminator arm on Audiogon.

So far, my research has turned up only excellent comments of the Terminator's performance and with the new version just out, the looks of the arm are getting better. The arm seems to have everything that I like in a high end product, excellent performance with a reasonable price that celebrates getting excellent value for the money. I am quite uncomfortable with paying large sums of money for high end audio equipment that just reeks of being overpriced. Keep the comments coming and thanks.
