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.

As usual Viridian sums it up nicely. There are excellent examples of both types of arms. Get one that suits your needs and your cartridge best.
If it were me, I'd buy an Origin Live Illustrious and a Shelter 901 cartridge, but you probably already knew that.
I agree linear trackers on a suspended table is a very difficult application. There are all kinds of pitfalls involved with that kind of setup. Most people tend to shy away from that combination.
