Top linear trackers


I’m in the market soon for a linear tracking tonearm. Two in particular have piqued my interest, the Kuzma Airline with damping trough and the Bergmann Odin. From what I can tell, these designs have especially benefited from lessons learned during the evolution of linear tracking, incorporating features like longish tonearms to minimize warp wow, ultra low friction, low air turbulence, and mitigation of the high horizontal mass issue by use of a damping trough (not sure of the Odin on that). The Odin is known to have a very quiet pump. The lift on the Kuzma may be easier to operate. I would love to hear from anyone with long term experience with these arms or comparable other ones. I would be mounting this on my current VPI Classic 4 and most likely using my Soundsmith Sussoro Mark 2 ES. That cartridge should work with either arm based on the resonance calculations. Down the road I may consider moving the arm to a Sota Cosmos Eclipse or a Technics custom SP10R or another high value setup. I cannot afford the Bergmann Galder with Odin. If I could I probably would have reached the end of my journey.

I lucked into a Mitsubishi Vertical Linear Tracking TT, LT-5V, love it, sounds great.

This one listed here is a beauty, original box ... looks perfect, both oem headshell and new one with cartridge

this one probably needs cleaning and new belts, not hard if you are generally handy, no special tools needed. risk other things not needed.

and it’s cracked dust cover replaced (after-market ones exist), clear or bronze, however OEM logo missing

I've owned an ET.2 (upgraded to 2.5) for close to 30 years, there are several fairy recent improvements as well and Bruce is always there for support.

The Trans-Fi is suppose to be a giant killer.
Dear @earthtones : You have at least other very good alternatives with Thales, Reed and Shoroeder that designed pivoted tonearm that are linear trackers. 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

@rauliruegas those are interesting options. I'm most intrigued by the Schroeder design which looks simplest. The Thales would appear to suffer from skating seen in conventional pivoted arms, due to the headshell being offset as it traverses, albeit with a changing offset. The Reed requires a battery and Michael Fremer wasn't impressed with its bass performance. Fremer couldn't fault the Kuzma as long as the dampening trough was used. I understand that it is cartridge dependent. My low compliance Soundsmith looks to be well suited. I need to see a review that directly pits the Schroeder against the Kuzma. Also, I'm not sure if I would give up anything that I'm currently getting with my SME 312S. Yes, it's got the extra length for lower tracking error, but I still hear inner groove compromises so that's why I'm looking seriously at linear trackers.
Thanks everyone for your responses. It makes for interesting research! I'm hell bent on eliminating the curse of standard pivoted arms.
