Armboard recommendation for Linn/Cetech subchassis


Any recommendations for a new armboard for a Linn Sondek (with a Cetech Carbon Fiber Subchassis)?

Earlier today I won an auction for a Cetech subchassis. I'd like to get an appropriate replacement armboard upgrade that matches my analog setup.

p.s. On a related note, when I receive the Cetech, should I mount the armboard via screws (unobtrusive) or bolts (visible from the top of the armboard) ?

When I owned my Cetech-ed Linn LP12, I drilled straight through a "standard" Linn armboard, and left the bolt heads exposed on top - quite handsome actually, as they were rounded stainless-steel Allens. This also provides for a much more rigid mounting to the carbon fiber subchassis (which is what you're after). A matching Cetech armboard would have been ideal, but when I obtained my subchassis, the armboard was no longer available - poke around the Pink Fish Media site in the UK - there's a guy there who's just begun making his own carbon-fiber subchassis and armboards.

The subchassis alone, however, resulted in a substantial upgrade to the Linn's performance. Happy listening,
