Thank youThad for a really nice piece of review work. Part 1 is an excellent summary of the mechanical details of the Woody(tm) tonearm. I really appreciate that you “get” that the arm is intended to be straightforward to adjust and use, and that you enjoy the physical beauty of the thing. Sometimes when I look at these arms I find myself thinking “Wow . . . pretty . . . where did these things come from.” Also, when you get a chance to use the Pete Riggle Azimuth Adjustment System, complete with the frame which supports It, I think you will find it relatively easy to use, and will find anti-skate to be a snap to set up. This system is soundly based on the physics of the anti-skate situation, and will be found useful to check out the anti-skate characteristics of any tonearm. I will probably at some point offer these systems as a separate product for those who wonder what their anti-skate system is actually doing. I regret that I did not get the system fully developed in time for your review. But, that said, I am completely satisfied with the review. Nice images, too. Pete
