MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?

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

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

Paul, why not use a canister near the TT and mount the pump in a completely different location? You can build a pretty good sized resevoir for a few bucks out of PVC and a couple of brass pipe fittings. This will not only help to stabilize and regulate the air pressure levels, but cut down on the apparent noise near the listening area. Sean
