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.

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.
Marty and Tom are correct, of course. My apologies to Richard for considering only my setup with respect to the linear arms.
Hey, 4yanx what are you running? I am always interested to learn from owners of linear trackers as they have such unique requirements.
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 thought you got rid of the Illustrious?

On an unrelated note, what are your further thoughts on the Mat 1?
