Throttles work great for me. Generally, filling slow is a good thing... cold fills and all. I've never run into any shootdown with mine going all the way up to 35 bps (yes, ramping ).

Adjustables are great if you have a mechanical marker and want to mess with your trigger's reactivity. If you have a reactive trigger valve then you can use an adjustable regulator to make your marker fire a bit faster.
If you have a mag Classic valve I don't think this will have any affect on the ROF and you are better off with a fixed output pressure, ~850psi is best for mags.
That said, not all regulators are created equal. Some recharge quicker than others, which will result in less shootdown at higher ROF. Crossfire is one of the best, so if you get a high pressure (red) Crossfire fixed regulator you are pretty much set in a Classic Mag. The Crossfire X-stream reg is only adjustable to 900psi. I think this is just shy of getting a RT to go into a rapid fire "bounce" mode so it may not work. I really don't know, haven't tried. You can get a Crossfire tank that is fixed at 1000psi (I asked CF about this) so if you know the point where your marker's trigger will bounce then you could go fixed.
Zak Vetter (www.zakvetter.com) has had experience with different adjustable valves and has posted his suggestions. You may want to take a look at those if you have an RT and want to get the highest ROF possible... it's pretty high BTW.

I have a Retro Mag with a CenterFlag DynaFlow Air System (adjustable) with an output pressure of 1000psi. Trigger is very reactive. It has that nice on/off button that bleeds your marker in seconds. IMO you should go for the DynaFlow , a quick turn of an allan key and you can set the PSI to what ever you want. I rather turn an allan key then to switch out a spring.Comment

I, too, am oldskool and just getting back into it after about a 2 year layoff...
I was running a 68/45 AA Raptor Rex(yes, they do exist olinar) at 1k psi on my ult'd retromag and the trigger is beautiful on it, soft and very reactive, but not to the point of runaway bounce
now I'm finally able to get back into it and guess what I'm changing....
nothing.
i don't care how outdated anyone says my setup is, i'll probably use it until im so old, people will feel bad shooting me(thinking 70's), then ill retire(and i know my mag will last that long)
if you can get a crossfire preset at 1000psi for an rt mag, that'd be just fine IMOLast edited by Jerhew; 03-28-2007, 07:49 PM.TheDuelist "The problem is that Tom has developed the VW Beetle of the paintball industry. It's almost too good to change and far too reliable."Comment

i will be needing a new tank soon if i pick up another mag, has anyone used the ones that are screw in adjustable with the springs? any comments?Comment

i have a friend that has a nitro duck xstream, i see that theyre still around
as long as you're ok with a 900psi max output, the xstream is an excellent adjustable screw-in tankTheDuelist "The problem is that Tom has developed the VW Beetle of the paintball industry. It's almost too good to change and far too reliable."Comment
