| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great, informative thread that any airbearing tonearm user can benefit from. I do not have an ET arm but have the Maplenoll arm. Ketchup asked for me to share my experiences with the A-M systems silver wire. I chose several thickness of wire to se... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice the ariadne belts are usually flat, but LPgear might have a round belt of that dimension | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice 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. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Jun Air has got several models including an oil less pump. I chose the 6-15 model because of the low noise threshold (40 db), pressure 125psig (found my air really likes 40 psig) and the pressure regulation/surge tank. The volume it produces is ab... | |
| Best Platter Material Lead makes a good platter. Walker and Maplenoll utilizes the mass and non resonant qualities to great success. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Brian is right about the superquiet pumps used with the original maplenoll. It is a "lube" oil, most likely Mobil one or equivalent. I do not like this set up because the refrigeration compressor does heat up and entrain oil throughout the system.... | |

| Vinyl cleanliness I own close to 3000 albums. Most were brought used though i do have a few that I purchased myself up to 30 years ago. Out of that bunch, i have probably 500 that are as quiet as a CD. over 2000 may have an occasional click or pop. I have probably ... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I agree with the comment of buying some quality used equipment on Agon or similar sites (there are a couple more). As a systems engineer, you are probably somewhat mechanically oriented so a little tweaking and repairs can bag you some fine equipm... | |
| Moving on after van den hul I used a VDH frog for several years and my daughter currently uses this one on her michell gyro system. I do like the sound but moved on to utilize the ZYX line of cartridges. I have the airy 3 and UNIverse and utilize both of them on my Maplenoll... | |
