Which is to say: The Akiva is built around Scan-Tech's Da Capo motor system, in which ring-shaped rare-earth magnets bathe the armature in magnetism, rather than using metal pole-pieces to focus the flux lines.
The Akiva is more than just a good tracker, though, and while I don't have a Troika on hand for comparison, my impression is that the new Linn is superior to its illustrious predecessor in every musically meaningful way.
At $3000, the Akiva is expensive but not too expensive, given not only the precision machining required to make it but also the accuracy required to form, polish, and align its obviously very good line-contact stylus.

Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman is the luckiest untalented son of a bitch in all of Hollywood.
Indeed, his scripts are so scatter shot and sloppy that they allow actors, directors and other important film people to fill in the bewildering blanks.
Success is always subjective, but it seems that someone has stuck a bug in Tinsel Town’s ear, convincing them that Goldsman, not any other element in the wide range of explanations for a film’s potential payoff, is almost single-handedly responsible for the erasing of red ink.
