New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

I have recently purchased a maplenoll ariadne. I have tried to learn a little about the table but find very little information. I know the table was discontinued in the 90's but the little i have found indicated it is a very good table. I am interested to learn if there are any tricks or problems to optimizing this table. As most of you probably know, it is an air bearing platter and tonearm. I plan on putting my zxy airy 3 on the arm once I get it set up.

Oilman, You have developed perhaps one of the most remarkable and cost-effective turnarms that duplicates what has not been obtainable for we lessor audiophiles. Thank You for opening the door...

Readers: I am in the process of reviewing a new, inovative product " The Friction Damping Tonearm" a patient pending TT whose parts appear to cost next to nothing with a potential to replace tonearms as we know them. Nothing is certian , no opinions other than what I expressed. More to come much later.

Readers: Todate, the the designer of the Friction Damping Tonearm has yet to make arraignments so that I may purchase and experiment with his tonearm. Perhaps other commitments are taking up his time. I will keep all informed. The tonearm can be viewed at www.tonearm.org.

Sorry, the Tonearm designer has withdrawn the design from sale. So that's the end of that.

I am thinking about building a prototype arm similar to the arm on my maplenoll to see if it would have some marketing potential. I will keep you informed as to my progress if you would be interested. It would be an airbearing/linear tracking arm that has full vta/vtf/azimuth adjustablity.
