RE: Pretty cool!

I think you're right!

However, since we are talking about vinyl, the market will be small, too. Therefore, who would be willing to put together an inexpensive kit when the reward would be small. I think this is the reason that most equipment associated with vinyl is very expensive. With low sales volume, profit margin must be high in order to make it worth the effort.

Also, this seems like a rather messy and inconvenient way to play vinyl. I have the money for an expensive air-bearing linear tracking tonearm, but I think pivotal tonearms are still easier and more convenient to use. I don't believe the advantages of linear tracking tonearms are worth the hassle. Of course, that's just me. I know that a lot of people enjoy linear tracking tonearms and I say, "More power to them!"
