Pete Riggle Woody tonearm

Dear Lew, They tested 'parasitic accoustic vibrations'in
armtubes made from different materials. You should be able
to understand those better than I. See: www.reed.lt ;research; wood vs. the rest.
BTW when do you hope to receive those 2 SWs? Do you need to 'upgrade' them?

Regards,

Pete is finishing mine this week. Super nice guy. He is also mounting
the arm and cartridge for me.(I have no mechanical ability). There
Is a nice review of the Woodie arm on Positive Feedback.

It is possible this review you mention on Positive Feedback was by a man who is also a member over on Audiokarma, his handle is "Mr Pig".

He's running a Galibier Serac Table with the Riggle Arm, and a ZYX 4D Cartridge.

A really nice looking setup, he, and I have spent much time discussing his analog set-up with him, and he appears to be extremely pleased with how it all came together.

His take was that the Riggle Arm seemed very adequate, and compatible with the ZYX 4D Cartridge. Mark

"Very adequate"?
That's not up to Mikey or J Valin superlatives.

Yes, he's there. just checked, John Hoffman is one of the reviewers for Positive Feedback. he's the person I mention above.

Yes, "adequate" is perhaps a blunt word to describe, but I think many who have owned, or used some of the ZYX Cartridges will agree, you don't place such world class transducers on just any Arm, and hope they perfom their best.

I'm sure John would be one actual hands on person who could share a lot of vaulable info about the Riggle Arm.
