Magna Audio's custom-made counterweight balance and armboard service!

[Magna Audio]

Here's a project of Tonearm board / arm rewire and fettle I've just done.

Replacing a thin piece of aluminium on a Cranfield Rock deck.
I also rewired the Alphason HR100s arm with Litz silver tonearm wire, fitted a Cardas 5 pin plug (to enable future cable upgrades), and fitted a new tonearm cable he'd bought - all providing quite an upgrade I trust.

All mounted up on 6mm thick ebony.



(I decided a block looked a bit boring so put the bevelled edge on to spice it up a bit)

(I'd run out of M5 black domed or caphead bolts to the ones shown are just for test mounting)




Here's the old somewhat abused plate that the ebony replaced.



The arm re-wire
1st to drill the arm base and tapp it to receive the Cardas 5 pin tonearm cable plug.




Silver Litz wire fitted



Cardas plug located



Buzz tested and colour coded, ready to go.



I also had to re-thread the bias weight micro fishing line too



Be interesting to hear what difference all these changes make.
