In Reply to: RE: Got The SP 10 In Plinth With Riggle Arm posted by Mister Pig on June 17, 2017 at 22:25:26:
I thought the bearing was more an adaptation from the Schroeder design, which uses a thread or string as its basis and predates the Riggle tonearm. Hence the name, "String Theory". When I once talked to Riggle about the design, he took pains to explain how his use of a string is different from Schroeder's, in fact. I don't see any analogy with the WT tonearm, unless there's a golf ball in a pot of goop hiding somewhere.

- It's a string bearing a la Schroeder, with the option for silicon damping - Lew 07:16:23 06/19/17 (0)
