Why the pivoting (articulated) armboard?

Four reasons: • Superior setup precision • Ease of cartridge setup • Flexibility to try 12″ tonearms • Capability of using two tonearms (front pillar accepts 2nd tonearm) No worries about mounting or drilling errors, as the rotating (articulated) armboard, in conjunction with the arc-style alignment protractor we provide for all arms we sell allows you to precisely set the correct pivot to spindle distance. The traditional method of adjustment – moving the cartridge fore and aft it its headshell slots can find the user vainly attempting to compensate for a minor drilling (mounting) error to compensate for an incorrect pivot to spindle distance. Depending on the degree of mounting error (we’re talking 1 or 2 mm), this might be impossible to compensate for. Reference the next section on setup procedure for more information.
