Turntable question?


My question is regarding linear vs. swing arm style turntables. Any good linear style turntables? Suggestions on both (table, arm, & cartridge combos) style turntables. Saw quite a few linear types while stationed in Germany in late 70"s. I've owned a few tt"s over the years but never a linear style. We gave our last turntable to our inlaws quite a few years back when cd's came out. We have quite a collection of vinyl (glad we kept them) that we would like to start listening to again. We listen to rock, jazz, big band, classical, eclectic, just about everything but COUNTRY. Pre amp is Yamaha CX1000 digital, speakers are Legacy Focus bi-amped with two Yamaha MX1000 amps. We play our music quite loud at times...and love it. Bi- amping is passive vertical and will be going to active vertical with an electronic crossover some time soon. Would like to stay below $1500.

Want to add to above. I live in a rather small city in a small populus state. I asked our local "high end" stereo retailer for help with with an electronic crossover (wanting to go to active bi-amping) and he asked me, what's bi-amping? Consequently, I've gotten most of my info from this site. Signed, starting to upgrade my 13 year old system. Thanks for any info.
Thanks all for the responses. I am going with the pivoting style arm. Sounds like the the turntable of choice. Am bidding on one at this moment and hopefully will be listening to my vinyl collection some time soon. Thanks again.
