INTRODUCTION

Designers have always understood that
there was need for a playback arm that
would permit its "pivot" to move parallel to
thecartridge and stylus. Such an arm would
move, or trackj' in a straight line, and there-
fore exactly follow the path of the master
cutting lathe head. Further. a straight line
tracking arm with its moving pivot would
need to be only slightly longer than half the
diameter of the disc. Since a straight line
arm can be short, its mass can be far less
than that of a conventional pivoted tone arm.
Also, the shorter length permits the use of
lighter materials without loss of rigidity.
No longer does the music enthusiast have
to accept compromise contrivances such
as anti»skating controls, odd-shaped tone-
arms and tracking error mechanisms.

Tracking error is reduced to zero. External
forces acting on the stylus are in complete
balance. Skating force is zero, and thus
there is no need for any anti-skating device
The end result is that the ST-6 plays music
in a way that makes conventional pivoted
arm systems obsolete.
