hi
English is not my first languish so please forgive any mistakes.
I own Mg1 about four months sitting on a VPI TNT 6.
No more to say that I sold a SME V right after the installation.
Even my friend with mega dollars system bought one right after.
Only positives and one negative: needs time for proper set up but on the other hand I spend also a lot of time to make SME works good enough(no it is not easy to make SME play good enough whatever people say. My 15 years of experience with IV and V says different things).
Leveling took me a lot of time to understand how it is working and how I will get best results.
Since I had no experience with linear tracking arms I read and I asked a lot of my audiophile friends and chats on internet most of them mention lacking bass response of this kind tone arms.
I never feel such a thing.
Major advantage is the designer Mr. Ada Lin.
Polite and helpful answered in any question in a very short time.
I tried different cartridges and the arm shows their character easy with positives and negatives as should be (Denon DL103R, ZYX R50 ,ZYX R100H, GOLDRING 1042).
One of the best I ever heard
My best regards
Gerasimos
