Pete Riggle Woody tonearm

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.

I'm sorry to all that I lack any journalistic, and reviewer expertise. I'm certainly no Mikey F! lol

And of course too, it is not I, who can further elaborate in detail of this Arm's qualities-attributes, and abilities. I've never owned, or used one. But John has, and has shared quite a bit with me by private coorespondence.

I do get the impression if it can live hand in hand very well compatibly with some of ZYX's best Cartridges such as the 4D, this in itself is a very high compliment to this Arm. Mark

Dear Mark,
I gather you are an aficionado of ZYX. I have heard only one model (the UNIverse) in one tonearm (the Talea), and the combination was superb. So good that I wonder whether there is a special synergy between the UNIverse and either wood tonearms or unipivot tonearms, or both.
