Here's a 195g counterweight for a very nice Origin Live modded arm.
This one was sent to New Zealand.

I received this feedback

"Morning Steve,

Thanks for creating the armboard for me, its a lovely thing ☺

Should I need anything crafted in the future I shall let you know."


Next is an arm lift holder assembly in polished Stainless steel for the Audio Technica ATP-12 tonearm. This one for the UK.

I received this feedback about the improvement the armboard has made

"Hi Steve,

After one week testing and listening I can tell you what a magical combination is your arm board and SME tonearm is. All the irritating artifacts are gone. The music is simply flowing.

So thanks a lot for your work and all the best."

A more unusual one this, Small polished aluminium holders for a pair of super tweeters. The design was specified by the customer. They bolt under the existing speaker stands and can be angled to point the tweeters directly at the listening spot.

I've also got several armboards on the go right now.

If you would like something for your hifi to improve it or make an new configuration work, I'm happy to discuss.
