Where to get an arm board?

First of all, thanks for all the great responses! The bonus shot of the Gaboon arm board was excellent, that is a beauty! Audio porn for sure.

I'm thinking that I will take a shot at it, I will use my current arm board for the pattern, rough it out with a jigsaw, that smooth it out with a dremel. 4est, special thanks for the offer, but I think even I may be able to do this!
Systemdek is not in business anymore, but they sold out to another company, who I forget and they still make some nice tt's. My intent was to upgrade my arm and platter in leu of getting a new tt, so that the reason.
I will give it a shot this week and let you all know the result.
Thanks!

Audio porn (like regular porn) is not necessarily a basis for a productive, long term relationship.

When thinking about a turntable design, you need to consider the physical energy paths, in much the same way you consider the current paths in an amplifier design.

There could well be a case for introducing wood into the equation ... or not.

If you have only one crack at this, the safe bet would be to match the material of either the turntable or the arm.

It may not be the prettiest solution, but it's the safest bet.

Now, if you have the time and resources to explore 8 or 10 combinations, then by all means, explore to your heart's content. It's how we all learn.

Cheers,
Thom

I have template for just this. It's hand drawn by the previous systemdek owner. I haven't made it, but should be a good start for you. Send me an email I'll send it back as a scanned pdf attachment.
