Bergmann is NOT german. It is Danish......plug and play ttt’s (manual) there is also to mention: HOLBO, Pre- Audio and Zorin. The Zorin is about to be available in the US and EU late 2019/early 2020 - heard through the grapewines. .The concept and development of full automatic and good sounding ttt’s died with the compact discs entry. Models from B&O, Technics, Studer/Revox and ex. Pioneer are sought after and priced pretty high. IMO they are way better players than many mid priced overhypped manual decks offered today. Sorry guys not to offend anyone just sharing my experience. With the available technology today it is for sure possible to manufacture a killer full automatic tangential turntable. They will not show up yet because they are still milking the cow producing horrible high priced manuals. If I polish my crystalball I think that Technics or Pioneer would be the first who offer such. A revised Technics SL-10 / Pioneer P-1000 with or without riaa, revised tonearm, headshell etc. Sign me up :-)
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.
