You can at least hear what the new arm sounds like by putting several mats on
the TT and/or adding spacers between the cart and the headshell. Dave

Need Advice re: Dynavector 507II on CA Max Sol
Hello All-
I wrote a similar message earlier today but never made it to the forum for some reason so I'm reposting my message. Apologies in advance if my original message gets posted/duplicated.
Haven't posted in a while but recently acquired a Dynavector DV 507II to be mounted as a second arm on my Clearaudio Maximum Solution table. I have a blank Clearaudio acrylic armboard for the Solution series tables and just assumed that this would accommodate the 507 arm.
After drilling the holes, mounting the arm, and installing the cartridge/headshell, only then did I realize that the arm is mounted too high. At the lowest possible setting, the stylus remains suspended about 1/4" from the platter upon lowering of the secondary arm. I thought about having the armboard machined to accommodate a recess-mounted base (similar to the Graham armboard for this rable) but since the armboard is only about 3/4" thick, I didn't think it was a good solution.
Does anyone have a similar setup? If so, what type of armboard did you use and where can I get one? Does anyone happen to have a spare armboard and willing to sell? Lastly, can anyone offer any suggestions?
I started on this project early this morning with hopes of having everything setup and aligned by noon -- wasn't meant to be. Hopefully some of the experienced folks can chime in.
Best regards.
