IME all designs have their issues. The above mentioned Well Tempered ( which I own and very much like) has an issue with its adjustability and its front/back stability (although this has not proven to be a sonic detriment that I can hear). The unipivot and the gimbal have their pluses and minuses. I would think that a gimbal, if done well, would have superior stability to a uni pivot, all else being equal. Perhaps we should include an air-bearing design here as well....maybe best of all worlds?
Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms
Curious as to the difference between these types of arms. In my experience, it seems as if unipivots are much more difficult to handle.
Is it like typical debates - depends on the actual product design/build or is one better sounding or less expensive or harder to set up....?
