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.

The Mitsubishi LT-20 (or LT-22) linear trackers are excellent. They allow VTA adjustment, and they accept a standard SME headshell. This table with a moving coil micro linear stylus will absolutely wipe the floor with 99.9% of the turntables on the used and new market.
