Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs

I am considering the advantange of a linear tracking tonearm compared to a bearing or unipivot arm. From my uderstanding there is no arm that can compare. Is this true. Does this make the top of the current arms not worth considering. Are there any cartridge that will reject or demand the use of a linear tracking arm. From what I understand some carridges won't work on a linear tracking arm, as well as several turntables.

Hi DGAD,
as a owner of the (Graham Phantom,Triplanar,SME V and two
Kuzma Airline TA), if you would like to go for a linear tracking tonearm, try to get a Kuzma Airline.
You won't regret it.
The only small drawback is that one should place the air
compressor in a different room. But kuzma suplied
a 25 meter hose for it.

Hi Dgad,

Well after having setup my TW Acustic I went for a comparison of different Cartridges and TA

Well I finally set up this combination.

1: Graham Phantom with ZYX-Universe / Kondo KSL FZ and Klyne 7xx
2: Kuzma Airline with Transfiguration Orpheus / Klyne 7xx
3: Davinci Grandezza with Takeda Miyabi and Tron Seven
4: Triplanar VII with Koetsu Rosewood Platinum / ZYX Artisan  Put looking for another Phono Pre.
