Air compressor/silencer cabinet for Airline Arm

Silencer cabinet for tone arm air compressor

Description

The system components have remained largely unchanged, but for the additions of a large Minus K platform for the turntable, a pair of 15" subwoofers to augment the lowest octaves and the installation of a robust electrical sub-system--powered through a Controlled Power 10kVa isolation transformer. The main change is the room--we relocated from New York to Austin, TX in 2017 and I now have a longer, narrower room that occupies most of the 2nd floor of the house. I have added a few photos reflecting updates since 2017. Bill

I duplicate your fundamental setup: AV Duos, Lamm ML2.1's,
DL11 Deluxe Pre. Front end: Raysonic CD 128. No vinyl.
Have bass to love. Have you ever tried NO PREAMP? I now
use a passive Placette remote vol. control. Lamm active
pre is stand-by. Transparent interconnects and power
cords. Power conditioner by PSAudio. Music to love.
