I have an early 80's Pioneer PL-L800 that I found in a thrift shop for $15. It had no cartridge, so they couldn't test it. I took it home and to be cautious, I installed a simple Ortofon Omega ($36) cartridge. It plays great and it's one of the best $50 I have ever spent! Cool design and works perfect.
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.
