Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm?

Well, the Elizabeth person has no clue what he/she is talking about as is obvious from the message, based only, as it is, on personal inferences and ignorance of the product in question. And an apparent irrational hatred of linear trackers. E.g., most regular car guys don't have a clue what a Pagani Zonda is; those who go outside regular channels for information certainly do. So it is with all things in life worth knowing and sensing. Otherwise, I'd constantly eat fastfood, love Robert Kincaid's awful art, read Harry Potter, watch Oprah, and drive American cars--all extremely popular, and all awful.

Linear trackers are heavily represented among the very elite tonearms in the world. Period. Kuzma, Clearaudio, Walker, Yorke--each of their top arms are without doubt among the elite.

For lots of feedback with photos from actual customers, go to www.trans-fi.com to the client corner; and for their latest arm, see pics in the Terminator 3 pics thread at the Vinyl Asylum.

FWIW, in the client's corner at trans-fi.com, the 3rd table down is yours, I believe--with several other VPIs represented, too. Each of those persons has agreed to speak with prospective buyers about their tables.

Watch this space; I'll let you know how it works on my Origin Live Aurora Gold Mk.II with a Cartridge Man Music Maker III--it'll be taking the place of the highly regarded Origin Live Encounter Mk.II arm. Mine's on the way right now, should be here next Monday. Pics here of the brand new version, with adjustable VTA-on-the-fly: http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/83/837110.html

Trans-Fi has a 30-day money back guarantee, no questions asked. Vic, the owner/creator, is really nice and the most patient guy I've dealt with in audio in many years.

Air bearing linear trackers worth their salt have been too expensive to filter into the dirty mainstream where Regas rule. And, if you have ten thumbs and wouldn't know which end of a hammer to use and haven't been around turntables long, then an airbearing arm can become daunting and too fiddly. Me, I'm off to build a nice little acoustic isolation box out of hardwood for my Rena Air 400 aquarium air pump that arrived today--it's already amazingly quiet, but I want to see how far I can take it.

Will do.

But, 3 words: Money-Back Guarantee!
