I am not sure why he wouldn't recognize a noise either though I remember a thread the other day, though can't find it now, where someone else had some vibration coming off the 2nd stage but it was mentioned for that particular reg (I think it was a mares proton ice if my memory serves me right), it vibrated when it was dry.
I dive with a few people from my shop and usually my repair guy is there too. Knowing his experience, and his knowledge, I would hate to pass judgement on this one incident. I've got a shallow dive in the morning (my deep dive is a week away) and will try it there. He said he would adjust it to my tastes if I still had complaints after this shallow dive so we'll see. At least he can probably adjust it there on the spot if I see a problem and I am taking my pony bottle in, just to get used to my set-up some more before my deep dive, so at least I feel confident that I have a backup (my Aeris is now for my pony).
on note.....I will bring up the vibrating thing to him again in the morning, one more time, to make sure that he wasn't just having an off day or that perhaps I wasn't explaining the situation right (not the world's best communicator here).
Thanks again
One last thing I just thought of. When I took the reg in for the 2nd stages to be rebuilt, I had short hoses on them. When I got my Apeks/USD setup back, I switched the 7ft hose off from my Aeris and put it on my Apeks/USD setup since the Apeks was going to be my main and the Aeris was going for my pony. I was wondering if the addition of this hose might have had something to do with it. The tech put my 7ft on the Aeris and I never asked if he did anything to tune it differently.
