At last. Won the auction on Ebay for a DA Aquamaster. Got it for $187.50. Bought my Phoenix Nozzle and I'll be shipping the regulator to Brian for rebuild and installation. So suggestions on hoses and mouthpiece. I'm leaning towards yellow hoses with black mouthpiece. Is one mouthpiece more comfortable than another?
I have examples of straight, curved and the Voit repro hourglass. I prefer the curved, but you will not be dissapointed in the new straight ones that VDH sells.
I have a built in "Pain-O-Meter" in that my front teeth are implants thanks to a drunk driver ages ago. Most single hose regs hurt and therefore my interest in double hose.
The Voit hourglass in the soft silicone is very comfortable.
The straight mouthpieces, especially if used with a vintage oval mask work fine but tend to rotate up with modern masks and will hurt my teeth.
The USD curved, if you have a good one, best hose routing, least amount of rotation, just feel natural to me.
Yellow or black hoses are correct on a DA. I prefer the black for being more techie and for showing off the vintage aspect the yellow are a, uh, "dandy" to behold.
