MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?

You know,I keep seeing this add and I'm about this close to buying one. If it sucks, I'd be out a few hundred. But, if it works well & sounds good, well it could be quite a bargain.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I was looking at one of those too. I'd really be curious to see what folks think about them, especially if they're already familiar with an ET II type arm, etc... Looks to be a bargain if it is well machined and solidly constructed. Sean

TWL should try it out; he is the expert! Perhaps we can each chip in ten bux and buy it for him to audition.....

Dear friends: It can see like a " dream ". The only way to know is buying it.
I have some concerns about the quality materials because the headshell is manufactured from plastic, not my cup of tea.

Regards and enjoy the music.

I don't think that Tom has a lot of experience with linear trackers, let alone air bearing arms. Then again, i don't think that he would mind if you wanted to send him the arm along with another table to set up and check out for free. This would allow him to keep his existing set-up as it is and use it to compare against the new table and arm combo. Having said that, at the cost of buying the stuff and sending it to him, count me out. If i'm spending money on gear, i might as well be the one trying it out : ) Sean
