Armboard

If an armboard fits the Graham 2.0 or 2.2, which arm can be put on it too? What I mean, for example, the old Graham 1.5 is SME mount, so you can put an SME arm on it too.
Thanks fro your reponse in advance.

Andyr's caution may or may apply. If, for example, you have a swivelling armboard as on a Teres or Galibier, effective length is a non-issue. What table are we talking about anyway? Supplying complete info would get you better answers. :-)

At any rate, if your Graham-drilled armboard swivels to adjust for effective length, then a TriPlanar can be mounted it. The TriPlanar's three mounting holes fall outside the diameter of the center hole used by Graham, Rega, etc. You'd just have to drill and tap the holes.

I don't know about Linn or VPI, though I'd "guess" a JMW-10 or above is similar to a TriPlanar in how it mounts.

Oh, I'm using the Clearaudio master solution.
... you own a turntable which has quite lofty sonic goals. I can't understand why you would be selecting a replacement tonearm based on compatibility with an existing armboard.
Excellent question. Maybe Clearaudio charges $1,000 for an armboard?

They wouldn't do that... would they?
