Linear Tracking Turntables


I currently have a Yamaha PX-3 linear tracking turntable, and it was working beatifully until I damaged the tonearm transport. (don't ask). I'm impressed with the performance I got out of it until I damaged it. I'll probably get another one from Ebay, but I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with these other linear tracking turntables that can fit standard mount carts: the Revox BX791 and 795 series, the Mitsubishi vertican turntables, and the Pionner/Phase Linear models. Which of these has the best linear arm?

The Yamaha PX-2, although even harder to find, would be the best of the bunch, IMO. It was heavier, and more beautifully made than the PX-3, with more a more sophisticated transport and controls for the arm.

The Mitsubishi LT5-V was the vertical turntable. They were pretty good, and visually striking and unusual, but at least a notch below the PX-3 in terms of build quality.

None of these are bad, but the PX-2 was the only "high end" turntable of its day.

Good luck.
