bdp24,
My years of experience with my VPI Mk IV/ET 2.5 ended up being a lesson in several aspects of what has become my foundation of what I perceive as the basis for basic audio system set-up. (The more compliant the plinth, (as in the VPI w/springs,) the more issues I had with the ET.)
(There is some misleading info out there as to what pressure an ET arm uses. Bruce can optimize the end users arm for a wide range of air pressures. This may depend on which iteration of the ET one has, a larger diameter spindle/manifold..etc...) For example, a friend of mine bought the larger diameter spindle but had Bruce optimize the air pressure for his situation at 7psi. In the end, I don't think how one chooses to deal with the pulsing or moisture differs from one design to the other.
I’m not up to date on the recommended air pressure of the Trans-Fi.
Good luck.
