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

Hi Whart!

Thanks for the reply. On the Kuzma Air Line link, it says, "It sucks". Evidently, I have misapprehended this clever prose as a disparaging remark (I thought it might blow rather than suck, if you know what I mean!) :-)

I, too, have been enamored with the Ferrari marque...The Targa Florio - How Cool Is That!! My first sports car was an MG BGT.

Sorry I can't offer recommendations on the A/C stuff. :-(

Hi,

What's wrong with the Kuzma Airline?

Best,
Sam
p.s. Ferrari's rule! Hehe, just thought I'd mess with you a little bit :-) Lambos do have a sweet exhaust note.
