    Default Ortofon TA-110 with SL-1200. Which armboard?

    If I wanted to use an Ortofon TA-110 arm on my Techie, where could I find a suitable armboard?

    The best value option is one of these from eBay seller f1sport http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jelco-SA-7...EAAOSwGzxZhWmh . Depending on how much you are prepared to spend, there are other options including bespoke ebony boards from Magna Audio, and I will shortly have CNC-machined modular boards available (looks inspired by the original Technics arm surround with its scalloped edge, and with all hidden fixings).

    One minor point to note - all the readily available arm boards are designed for a Jelco SA-750D or SA-250 with 214mm spindle-pivot distance. Ortofon state 213mm spindle-pivot distance for the TA-110 which is not a deal-breaker, but you would have to be sure that the Ortofon's collar has the same mounting hole arrangements as for a Jelco (I have no idea of they are the same). If the mounting holes are different, again that's not the end of the world because my own improved mounting collar is compatible with the Ortofon and all the Jelco armboards out there.

    Thank you guys.

    Ortofon's diameter of the armbase mounting hole: 19-20 mm, and diameter of the center shaft of tonearm: 18.0 mm.

    I'm in no hurry, I can wait for your ammonite-audio solution. The Magna Audio's ebony boards are maybe a bit too high-end for my planned system.
