I have assisted a friend in setting up a Woody SPU tonearm. Here are my impressions:
Pros:
once adjusted, it sounds great.
Cons:
1- it's the ultimate fiddler's tonearm - it requires infinite patience to setup and almost constant tweaking and adjustment.
2- it looks like it was made in Pete's garage. Not a complaint, just a fact.
3- I could not hear a significant difference from my Schick arm on my TD-124. So while I love the wood look I can't see spending more money and the Schick is a breeze to setup.
