I had that particular Maplenoll turntable for two years. It’s a great TT but very (rpt very) fussy. The first thing that happened to me when I purchased the TT new was the bearing of the platter was defective. So I had to wait for the part. (Well, that’s just great!) Then I bought 500 feet of air tubing and hooked everything up to the two air buffers and air pump. Then, the air flow velocity has to be adjusted for both the air bearing arm and the air bearing platter. I had my Special Ed. Ariadne with 50 lb platter up on a modified pneumatic isolation platform which required 150 lb of ballast. It sounded great through naked Quad 57s, I will say that.
Maplenoll Setup
I have a Ariadne Maplenoll turntable given to me by a friend. He had stored it in his garage for more than a few years and was looking for someone who would properly set it up and love it! Being disabled, setting the turntable up has been a slow-moving project but its now moving to the top of my list.
When I got it, it had what I suspect is a line filter in the pipeling before the tank (and one I think after the tank). When I tried, I could not blow air through either of the filters, they seemed clogged. I looked to replace them but I obviously do not know what to buy (or where to buy them). Can someone point me in the right direction for where to buy a replacement? I have scanned aquarium sites with no luck.
I am sure once I get the tubing worked out I will have a whole new set of questions!
Thanks
