Air line filter for air bearing arm
I'm curious to hear a response to Sqeeqy200's question about too. I have the Airtech MG-1 air bearing arm, and am unsure how to optimize air delivery and prevent any maintenance issues later down the road.

Mc5baby, if you still have trouble with the tight volume control, it may be that the steel knob is touching the sides of the wood enclosure. You can remove the knob and recenter with an allen key. If that is not the issue, and it seems that someth...

Preamp Deal of the Century
I just wanted to share a photo of my Supratek. It's supported on a Sistrum platform, which apart from the sonic advantages, looks very cool IMHO:http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1112246444.jpg Rack support is an Adona double stand. I believe I've... 
Airtech MG-1 - any experience?
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 A... 
Teres Owners - Please help
Hi, I can chime in on your first question. I think the Salamander stand you have probably won't do a great job of supporting the Teres. That's my gut feeling from having worked with support for my evolving teres (form 135, to 245 to 255). I think ... 
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 ch... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
Hi Guys:Thanks for the extra input. All good thoughts. I'll do a little more experimenting over the weekend and see can I dial in settings, levelling and support a bit more. Also, because this is a double stand (supported on six cones), I may try ... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
Guys - just so you know - I'm not jumping around the room or walking close to the turntable as I'm listening ;-) However, it is necessary to walk towards the turntable to change records, and walk back to listening position. Also, I do have friends... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
Guys, thanks for all the input so far. Well, thing is, I'm renting this house right now, so am weary of following any serious DIY type solutions (ceiling mount, or wall mount). I'm also weary of checking out other stands, as I've alreay invested h... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
Twl, as always, thanks for the words of wisdom. Yes, I do need to play with it more, and see if I can iron out any remaining kinks. I have tracking set at 2grams which is recommended for the cartridge, but I can up that a little.Yes, I've been wea... 
Equipment Set-up Recommendations?
A Teres is probably a challenge to wall mount, and my suspicion is that such a mount is not recommended from a sonics perspective for an unsuspended turntable like the Teres. Hence, I'm keen to work on another solution, if one is available. Are ot... 
MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
Well, I wanted to update on my experience with the MG-1. For optimal setup I did have to drill a hole in my Teres armboard, to best accomodate the MG-1. I'm now better able to dial in the tonearm. The tonearm really sounds great, although there ar... 
MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
Well, I managed to get the new arm installed. I'm still working through a few kinks, but initial impressions are very favorable.I used my existing Teres cocobolo armboard for support. However, I needed to mod it a little. The armboard is supported...
