jagjag,
I have to disagree with the Debbie Downers that automatically bash the linear trackers. I owned a Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing TT/arm combo with straight line tracking and it is right at the top of any analog setup I've had. I also own a Trans-Fi Terminator with Tomahawk wand and all the best upgrades Trans-Fi had prior to selling the company to the current maker. I used it with a super Lenco rebuild and the sound was very good. I've had several good pivoted arms and it sounds better than all of them by a little bit. I would be willing to sell my TF if you wanted to try it. It is in very good shape and comes with all you would need to make it sing. You could PM me if interested. I had 2 full systems and am cleaning out the second one.
Bob
