Budget Linear track table?

The closest to "entry level" in terms of cost that I've seen in recent years is the $599 MG-1 air-bearing tonearm to add to your turntable of choice. I've never heard one, let alone tried one, but I've read a couple of reasonably favorable comments.

I don't know of any integrated arm/tables being sold that would get close to this (plus 'table, of course).

An alternative would be to find a used Eminent Technology tonearm.

Rush stole my idea when he mentioned the ET arm. I once owned one and they are exceptional for the money.

Thanks guys, Bruce Thigpen has always been really nice to talk too and I bet his arm is very good.
