The stylus travels across the record in a straight line, following the same basic geometry used when the original record master was cut. The goal was to minimize tracking-angle error and distortion while making record playback remarkably elegant and easy to use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 4002 is also unusual visually. Its low-profile aluminum construction, understated controls, and parallel tonearm arrangement give it a distinctly architectural appearance that still feels modern decades later.
