Agree - and despite the high effective horizontal mass I ran a high compiance Shure V15Vmr in my ET2 for 10 years non stop ( with the stabiliser brush removed ), and the original cantilever was still straight as a die after all that time.
Unipivots ironically have the most rigid and free bearing due to the single point.
Gimbal bearings have much higher stiction than unipivots but are more stable.
I have all three arm types - gimbal, unipivot & tangential air bearing.
At the end of the day there are pros and cons with each type, and those that argue one over the other as an absolute do not understand the trade offs inherent in each of the various options.
@mijostyn Air bearing arms are not worth talking about?? I wouldn't state that to any of the many owners of the Eminent Tech arm...an arm that I still feel can compete with some of the best available today.
