Arm Differences ...... ,etc.


I'm fairly new to the analog world and you've probably read some of my posts in the past. I've now got a good handle on brands and models, but now the technical.

What are the pros and cons of a unipivot arm compared to a gymbal pivot or non-unipivot? Which work more effectively with a suspended table? Does a type of cartridge lend itself more to a suspended table?

Your responses continue to be most enlightening. Thanks.

Well, Oz, I did. But I also have one now.

I've had the Mat1 for only one week and have not logged enough time yet to make definitive appraisal.
Marty and Tom are correct, of course. My apologies to Richard for considering only my setup with respect to the linear arms.
Marty, I am not running a linear arm. My post meant to allude to the fact that while I appreciate the benefit of a GOOD linear tracker, I can't afford to pony up for one. :-( I am running a 'Not Spacedeck with an OL Illustrious. Very nice performance, but I'd like to slide Albert's Walker in for a spin.....
I don't think that the advantages of a linear tracking arm are much of a secret, dirty or clean. Given a much larger discretionary budget.....
