The air pump issue is the main one with the maplenoll ariadne series. I do not have the full signature model but the table itself is built like a tank. Once set up properly, i have found I need to do very little with the table except play my records. I think I have found the solution to the pump issue and that is using a JunAir compressor for the arm (very quiet, very rugged air compressor) and a separate pump for the platter (actually an aquarium air pump). JunAir is used by Pluto audio on their signature table and is also widely used in the dental field. Since I have this setup, I have not really had to tinker with the air system at all.
considering a Maplenoll
What is the experience some of you have had living with these tables . some of the parts are not so easy to find and are not being made any more . I know they sound supper nice and natural but Who works on them ?! if you need help . Lloyd Walker said I should be very careful , that they are hard to set up and I should understand the mechanics or not to buy one .
