I really don't get it. Air bearing arms are not hard to set up at all (as long as you have a good design that is fully adjustable) and running them is not complicated, either. There is virtually no maintenance required after the initial setup with the exception of changing the air filter every few years (or sooner depending on how often you use it). Most people work much harder switching amps, cables, tubes, etc.
Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
Curious as to the demise and downfall of the seemingly short lived linear tracking TT.
Just from a geometry point of view I would have thought a linear arm should be superior to one with a fixed pivot that sweeps through an arc.
Obviously there is much more to it than that, sort of the reason for this thread.
I am genuinely interested in trying one out for myself as well.
