Installing a new arm


Hi, I am thinking about buying a Audioquest arm to replace my Systemdeks OEM arm (Profile). Can anyone tell me how do I go about doing this? I was told this should not be too difficult and I am trying to save some money- so I will do it myself. I was told the Audioquest arm will need a new mounting hole in my arm board...or do I make a new arm board myself? How do I determine where to drill the mounting hole? Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with the Systemdek, but using your current armboard as a template you should be able to fabricate a new one. As for mounting the replacement Audioquest arm, you'll definitely need the mounting template (or someone who knows the exact measurements) to ensure proper mounting. Since it seems like this a DIY project, I'd advise you to make sure the Audioquest arm comes complete with the manual/mounting template/hardware, etc. Good luck.
