Why Linear Tracking never took off?


Popular in the mid-80s...Linear tracking tables have vanished from the scene...what was the rational behind their creation?...Are there any good used tables to consider...or is this design long gone?....thanks...the simplicity of operation intrigues me...

I just stumbled on this thread. I guess I need to pull out my PS X 800 table and try it out again after all these years. If I recall correctly the "Biotracer" technology included active resonance supression in addition to servo tracking of the arm.

I bought mine around 1983. My biggest recollection is how great the inner third of LPs sounded in comparison to other tables at the time.

Of course, this was during my mid-fi period. I wonder what I'll think of it now?
