Servo tonearms are not new, they have been around for years. The most familiar are the vintage Rabco, Souther, and the T-3 and T-5 Goldmund arms. They look like fun but are notoriously difficult to set up and maintain. Notice that only mega-buck turntable manufacturers offer linear tracking servo arms these days. IMO, you are better served with a pivoting tonearm.
What is a Servo Tonearm?
Greetings to all,
Please, appreciate very much if someone can explain what's exactly a servo tonearm?
They are fully automatic tonearms, or the ones that just lifts when the record ends?
There's some benefits in tracking ability also?
What are the pros and cons of servo tonearms, like to some Denon and JVC turntables like this:
