MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
Well, I received the tonearm yesterday. The packaging was excellent, and the build quality of the tonearm seems top notch. I haven't managed to install it yet, as it looks like I'll need some type of custom amrboard to support it, which is a shame... 
MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
Hi Guys:I get the tonearm on Friday, so will try and set it up then. Challenge may be getting the armboard/seating correct, as I'm sure my Teres armboard won't do the trick - will likely need to work out the right fitting for the table, which may ... 
I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?....
Well, I went ahead with a new cartridge purchase. I went out on a limb and selected the Airy 3x-sb. A bit more of a cartridge than I was in the market for, but hopefully will be a nice upgrade for my system. I have the new MG-1 air bearing tonearm... 
MG-1 Air Bearing Tonearm? Anyone experience it?
Well, I took the plunge and purchased this thing - my curiosity got the better of me. I don't have any experience with a tonearm like this, so fingers crossed I can get it up and running OK. I'll report my findings.

I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?....
Mmm, that's what I was afraid of - so i would be damaging my records. They seem to sound just fine, but I believe you guys. Ok, I guess I'll be taking the plunge on a new cartridge..I do have the Denon DL 103 on the way, so that might keep me occu... 
I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?....
So, to update on the Shelter issue - even though the cantilever is askew (both vertically and horizontally) and the suspension is quite loose, I reinstalled the Shelter on my OL Silver, and Teres 255 (just got the 255 platter, so had to let it set... 
I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?....
Jyprez - that sounds like a fantastic deal you got on that replacement. That might be the best way for me to go, if I can avail of such a deal. Is there someone in particular I shoudl contact at Music Direct, do you think the offer would be a gene... 
I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?....
Hi Dirtyragamuffin - I'd definitely be keen to see if I can have the Shelter repaired - my sense from some comments though is that the cartridge is kaput now though. BUT - if anyone has ideas on where I might send it for review (and possible repai... 
I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?....
Guys, thanks for the advice. Some good options mentioned. I'm still open to a number of cartridge choices. I may go with a more reasonably priced option in the short term (perhaps the DL 103), and save to get something better longer term. Another ... 
Teres Turntable Support - concrete, wood, rack...?
So, I've inquired about this rack:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accsrack&1107221335 because, the price is right, the rack looks great, and it's supporting a Teres 255. I'm still not sure how it will sound with the Teres, but it's a st... 
Teres Turntable Support - concrete, wood, rack...?
Hi Oakiris:I haven't gotten any new stand yet - still considering options. I'm tempted to get a the new Sistrum stand that Twl outlines as I've had good success with the sistrum 004 platforms for my speakers. Also, the upcoming sistrum turntable p... 
Teres Turntable Support - concrete, wood, rack...?
Oakiris - just one other suggestion on the platform. I read in a recent thread here of one user having great success with a Prometheus stand/support coupled with a Nuance shelf - for an unsuspended turntable (can't remember which one, but it wasn'... 
Teres Turntable Support - concrete, wood, rack...?
Hi Oakiris:I'm upgrading my teres from 245 to 255 as we speak. So, I can share my thoughts on the improvements. Chris at Teres was kind enough to offer sending me the new platter before I send the old one back, so I can do before and after compari... 
Problem with Supratek Preamp or Musetax Bidat DAC?
Hi Guys:Thanks for the response. I sorted out the problem. I found a small 'reset' buttong on the back of the Bidat which appeared to do the trick. I'm not sure if this really was the solution, but after pressing this, and turning things on again,...
