I have an old technics linear drive turntable if that is what you mean by horizontal. The arm is attached to a linear drive rail which is built into the cover. When this cover is raised, the arm is lifted from the disc. It has operated flawlessly for many years - (until my 950 arrived without a phone preamp - now it lives under my bed !)
I'd love to hook her back up though, so what are you guys all using for phono preamps?
