Armboard

No. It works the other way. A Graham 1.5 with an SME mount will mount a 1.5 on a SME table. The particular mount is specific to the arm bolt pattern and the table bolt pattern. If you can google up a picture it will help you to understand.

Thanks for your response Dan, but you get the whole thing wrong. Sorry for making the confusion. I'm not interested in the SME mount, just use it as an example. What I really want to know is if I have an armboard for Graham2.0/2.2, can I mount another arm on it? I can see the 2.2 armboard isn't SME mount anymore, and it's round, so can I put a Linn, or VPI, or Triplanar arm on it?

You only can (mount a different arm on the Graham 2.0/2.1/2.2 armboard) if the other arm has the same effective length as the Graham.

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.

Thanks for all your replies, esp. thanks to Dougdeacon as he is really down to the point. Of course, effective length is an issue, but I can always swivel the armboard on the armboard pole in order to obtain the effective one. Oh, I'm using the Clearaudio master solution. My concern is the 3 holes drilled on the armboard. Doug....what you said, do you mean the screws of a Triplanar aren't at the same position as the Graham?
Thanks again.
