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.

I wouldn't get the Bergman, even if it sounded the best. You may very well have a paper weight in a year.

Hi Stringreen
Do you mena that it will die on me or not be supported or both?

David...who knows? But with great turntable companies like VPI and Clearaudio who deliver great support, why would you want to take such a gamble?

Point taken. The VPI HRX sounds absolutely incredible but I haven't heard the Aries line. Will add that to the list

If you want customer service and a north american product, I would recommend Sota, VPI, Basis or Oracle. Between those 3 you can pay as much as you want for the quality you are looking for, and probably much less than you would pay for some exotic table
