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?

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.
Don't forget that the hose itself smooths out pumping surges along with the tank, andwill further quieten things. The Maplenolls I lived with for years came with 100 feet of hose, and at something like 10 cents a foot we're not talking a fortune. An easy tweak, and allows you to get that pump even further from the source! Hell, why not 200 feet just to be safe?
