New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

I also bought the highest quality regulators that I could find, with the thought that less regulator flutter would equate to less air pulsation. I discarded the PVC plastic "scuds" with air tanks, one large 15 gallon tank back where I store the air pump and the other, a new 5 gallon "airpot" just behind the turntable stand. I'd also purchased the best quality water seperators and dessicant driers at the output of each tank, too.

One warning: with 15 gallons of airtank storage, you'll need to turn on your air compressor 5 or 10 minutes before listening, but the extra storage area made an audible difference.

Oilman: 37 cfm? That thing must be the size of a car. :)

oops, 37 liters/min (1.31 cfm), its actually pretty small with the exception of the tank. I really like the large air tank, got to help the stability of the air system.

any recommended source for a round belt I believe is aprox 1/16" or 3/32" x 38"? circumference drive belt that wraps around lead platter on Ariadne to plinth pulley. Let me know if measurement is different and best source. Thanks

the ariadne belts are usually flat, but LPgear might have a round belt of that dimension

Life has gotten in the way and I finally acquired a Silentaire 20A pump for my Ariadne. I hooked it up this morning with a friend and the Silentaire could not keep up 45 PSI in the turntable. This is obviously ridiculous and there must be a leak somewhere. I wonder if this is how I fried my original silent pump. My question is if you typically can hear air flow under the turntable? I definitely can hear this but really can't isolate where it is coming from. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I still have all the original Maplenoll filtering scuds are air chambers.
