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....?

I have a 3D on my Classic 3 Sig SE.
I’m one that tries to turn lemons into lemonade. After I had VPI get the S2P distance right and the addition of the dual pivot upgrade, I’m happy with it. In addition, what made the dual pivot much quieter, is my PEEK film upgrade.  Next is having it rewired with a continuous run of Audio Note silver.
With all due respect and appreciation for the knowledge and experience shared here, the inclusion of an Audiomachina V8 Broad-Spectrum Cartridge/Tonearm Vibration Absorber between the cartridge and tonearm will likely far surpass any difference between a well set up gimbal or unipivot tonearm.


I am unsure if any of these tonearms would suit your particular turntable. However, based in the UK, I am using an Audio Origami PU7 on my Linn LP12. It tracks beautifully and sounds superb
Other mainstream arms in the UK that might be worth a look also are the Roksan Nima or Roksan Sara.
All depends upon budget and suitability of course.
