Riggle Vtaf w/Rega P9 & RB1000. Good idea or not?


Greetings fellow vinyl lovers! I am buying a Rega P9 with the RB1000 arm. My cartridge is a Clearaudio Maestro. I would really like to have VTA adjustment capability with this table and have heard very good things about the Riggle Vtaf VTA adjustment wheel. Here is the question. Is it a good idea to install the Vtaf on the P9. Has anyone out there done this and what was your experience? The RB1000 has a 3 point attachment system that is different than the less expensive Rega arms, so I am little wary of installing the Vtaf on the P9. Also, this is an expensive table to mess with and I would not want to effect it in any negative way. By the way, I have about 5,000 records, 3,000 being classical, and I play vinyl most of the time.
Thanks,
Joe

To those of you who have dealt with Pete, do you find his response time rather slow?

I've sent him a couple of mails and he hasn't replied.

Hi Jbcello
I'm currently having some issues with my Conductor, so the VTAF project will have to wait.

Post some pics when you're done. I think it'll be of interest to many here.
