Yea my LP12 previously had a Tic-tock, I just bought a new armboard when
I bought the Ekos. Hell what's another 25 quid considering the arm and
leg I had to pay for the Ekos :) Seriously armboard FOC ... should been
a free week in the Canaries ... tweet-tweet.

I thought the armboard is the thing into which one fits the tonearm. And
the baseboard (in the case of the Linn) was that piece of shite they
stick on the arse (bottom) of the deck :)
