Designers idea to create this linear tracking tonearm came up from intention to create compact tangential tonearm. Keeping in mind that most of tangential tonearms are massive. While creating this tonearm designers prime focus was to create high quality, functional, compact and efficient design. This tonearm working principle is based on Thales theorem and the rule that given three non-collinear points it is possible to draw only one circle that has finite radius and passes through all three. According to these rules arm tube is tangential to the groove of LP while turntable is playing.
