MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?


This tonearm perked my interest because of its relatively low price, considering it's an air-bearing arm. Does anyone have experience with this arm? I have an OL Silver right now, and am curious if this would offer improvements. Has anyone else tried it?

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

Definitely intriguing. Note that the tonearm has holes rather than slots, seemingly limiting the amount of adjustment possible. Dave
I loved my Maplenoll arm, with the right cartridge nothing images like an air-bearing linear-tracking arm, I never had problems with mine, it was very musical and had excellent bass (a traditional Maplenoll strength). I've been staring at that arm for a while now. Didn't know the headshell was plastic, though. When I click on materials I get Klingon.
