Galibier owners How do you like your music now?

Stiltskin,

Thom can help you with this but there is a slight issue with using an arm with the cable that attaches through the bottom of the arm stand. That is you won't be able to use the big, heavy Stelvio arm board. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of.

I'm not sure i understand dan. I use a din discovery cable with that armboard. As long as it isn't a right angle one, it seems okay.

Mothra, Go to Galibier's website and look at the pictures of the Gavia and Stelvio armboards. With arms like SME, Graham and those where the cable feeds through the bottom of the arm you can't use the much thicker and more substantial Stelvio board.

Yes, I'm talking about the armboard with the big "oil can" dampener. The original armboard will work fine.

Gosh, I don't think I have a Stelvio armboard picture out there, but Dan describes it well.

There's a big "can" (3.625 diameter x 3" high) hanging under the arm mounting area of the Stelvio armboard. It damps spurious resonances.

You can't drill any through-holes in the armboard to pass an arm stub through (or an exit hole in the "can" to feed an arm cable). There'd be lead shot and oil all over the place.

Stated another way, only arms like Triplanars, Schroeder References, ET-2's and such can be used with the Stelvio armboard.

Cheers,
Thom
