Back in my linear-tracking days I would have initially believed the people who said it's a problem-free solution to record playing issues. My ET-2 worked perfectly and I loved it.
Then I sold table and arm when a "good deal" presented itself in the form of a VPI TNT Mk. II and an identical ET-2, this one including a Wisa pump and Airtech surge tank. This one had no end of problems. I drove poor Bruce Thigpen crazy as we tried and failed to trouble-shoot what was wrong.
Turned out the Wisa pump was defective AND the Airtech leaked air but by the time I discovered that, I was heartily sick of the whole linear-tracking concept and never went back.
