Airtech MG-1 - any experience?

Hi Flyingred - I've had one for the last month or so. So far, so good, although I'm encountering some skipping, as I walk around (see the recent thread I started on the subject). Still, not sure if it's a symptom of the tonearm itself, or other changes to my system set up. I've a new rack too, that may be contributing to the problem. All told though, the sound is pretty amazing. I think it's pretty much a steal for the price, although my experience with tonearms is far from extensive, so I'm probably not the best judge. My best guess though is that you would be very happy with the purchase. Apart from the sound, it's been a lot of fun to set up and play with. I will post photos in the next couple of days.

Flyingred, thanks for the input on the armtube. You may indeed have a point. I'm really not that savvy about arm/cartridge matching, so you could be right. I wonder if there is anything I can do to resolve that. I wonder would it be possible for Ada to create a medium mass armtube, or would that impact the interaction between the armtube and the air beam...

I have a Denon DL103 which I have on lend to a friend who's awaiting a cartridge purchase. I wonder if that cartridge would track better (I'll check, when I get the cartridge back).

Inoriel - I'll be curious to see how you get on with the MG-1. Let me know if you have any questions. The instructions were a little sketchy, and I feel I've a better handle on optimum setup now then when I started installing. I recommend reading Ada's addition to the 'skipping' thread. His recommendation on how to dial in the levelling of the arm was invaluable. Note you will need a 4mm allen key (not included with arm) to affect the levelling, and a smaller allen key (can't remember the dimension) to allow VTA on the fly. Once you dial in VTA though, it's worth retightening, as the airbeam leveling may change slightly as VTA is changed. It's sort of hard to explain, but once you work through installation, you'll figure it out.
