New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

Piedpiper : The benefit is that we now have two options , rather than one . Thanks for the input.

Threaders: After weeks of "trial an'error" , today I had a flawless 5 hr test run of the air control system (ACS).

To summarize, the system produced 41 PSI running to the arm manifold and 2-3 PSI to the 50lb. lead platter . Its dead quiet with all pleniums, oil-water separators , air regulator/filter/control mech. and filters working so the end product is clean, dry air w/almost no oil smell and no air pulse-sations. The home-made airfilters were filled with carbon & zeolite granules capped under and over w/"aquia-Pure" 100 percent polyester fiber filter cut to size.

My estimate is the whole-shee-bang cost me $200 but what an improvement. Lots more to come . Today was only a test. Lots more to do with the table/arm and possible big surprizes w/cartridge.

In the future I intend to post pics after I master the use of a digital camera.

congratulations! I'll be very curious to find out more details.

Piedpiper : Thank you . I will post more details soon.

I took a little different approach even though it was one more piece of equipment. I hooked up a separate pump to the platter and left my large/high pressure for just my tonearm. Both systems have filters and pulsation bottles as you have described. I did this because running my larger compressor for the tonearm and platter was making my compressor run a little hot. So far very pleased with the results
