Recessed Tonearm Armboards

A tonearm manufacturer once told me that a tonearm is restricted in movement if the armboard is recessed below the plinth. Now I have never owned a turntable that had a recessed armboard, but I have seen some that were recessed a few mm's to an inch, but nothing more than that. I wanted to know what is the reason that would cause the restriction or its ability to move less freely. Or maybe folks feel that it's just not the case.

Thanks @bkeske - was having a hard time finding a picture to illustrate. Good to hear that you are not having any issues. As Lewm indicated, not every tonearm/table may have issues with recessed armboards. Not to cloud things, but there also is a platter to plinth or top of armboard height requirement that most tonearms require.

@millercarbon - click link for a picture to see what I'm talking about.
