I owned a couple of the B&O tables with linear tracking arms in the past (3300 and 8002) as well as the Technics SL-10. While I was very happy with all 3 tables, I kept going back to my direct drive tables with pivot tonearms, but like @lewm I came to really appreciate the B&O cartridges of which I have the MMC1 and 2, as well as a Soundsmith Carmen II. Now I use a PTP Audio table with two pivot tonearms mounted on it, and while I am still intrigued with linear tracking options, I don't see the need to revisit them.
Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables
Ever since the advent of the Bang & Olufson linear tracking turntables of the 70's & 80's I have always wondered about their sound, function and longevity. If you own a linear tracking turntable, I would appreciate your thoughts compared to standard pivot tonearm turntables.
Was looking at the Bergmann Magne Turntable & Tonearm "system".
Would appreciate some first hand experiences. Do these turntables and associated tonearms function without many issues? Does the arm track without friction? And so on.
Your experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks and Happy Listening.
