New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

FYI : I'm awaiting on Piedpiper to have some free time to construct the motor mount. For now, my Rig is down . All tube gear and some digital are at Eric Falkehan's shop for inspection and repair should that be required. This is preventive in nature. While all else is out of the house some changes are being worked out for the listening room.

A couple of weeks ago I purchased a pair of Allen Organ Amps-75A's. Soon they will undergo a rebab/mod for home use. Despite the hard industral look , their articulation is shocking. Perhaps one of the greatest amps ever made , provided you know what your doing in the change-over.

Crem,

just back from RMAF and back in the saddle. Still very busy but exploring ideas for motor mounts. I'll be redoing mine and in the process refine my ideas for yours. I'm also considering a Teres Verus motor/rim drive, available in two heights: 4.3" or 6.1". Could be an interesting way to go.

Piedpiper: A rim drive ? Now, that's interesting / exciting. I'm looking forward to whatever you discover in rim drives & motor mounts.

FYI: I located a soft iron motor mount in Hong Kong that "may" work with the 'Noll. It weights 5 lbs. before lead weights and could work with Pipedpipers mods. I requested information regarding sizeing and other "Q's".

FYI : I have been corresponding with the motor housing source in Hong Kong , and between Piedpiper & I . After, many weeks of questioning , it does appear that we may have a go with the soft motor mount. More soon.
