Bergmann Magne

Hi All
I am looking at getting a new TT and was wondering if anyone has any experience / comments on the Bergmann Magne
I am also looking at the Clearaudio Innovation Wood (Compact). I read that the Bergmanns has a linear tracking arm and am not sure if this is a concern in terms of maintenance. I am trying to set up an audition on the Bergmann this week.
thanks in advance.

True story - a friend of mine contacted Avante Garde in Germany about their horn speakers. He mentioned that he was thinking about getting some new speakers for his birthday in a few months. A few months later he was contacted by Avant Garde with birthday greetings and an offer to sell him the speakers with a free upgrade of all silver wiring for his birthday. Needless to say he bought them.

Hi, I just bought Bergmann Magne (from Dutch dealer). Wonderful table. Sent a couple of mails to Mr. Bergmann, only got one reply...

I have to correct my previous message. Due to a problem with my mailbox I overlooked some e-mails from Mr. Bergmann. Communication with him is smooth and swift. I must apologize for the misunderstanding.

I recently purchased a demo (prior-dealer) Sindre and have been in contact with Bergmann in Denmark. They have been very responsive and supportive.

I love the table. It has a quality of solidity in the stereo presentation which I've not heard before. The linear tracking arm is much more responsive than my beloved Goldmund T3F (and the Bergmann arm is able to adjust position in both directions while playing) which has gone to a new good home.  I do miss the auto handling features though. It is a real pleasure to use.

The pump is dead quiet and seems to be nearly maintenance free.  I've installed the drive supply and pump so they can be easily switched off for periods of non-use.
