Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms

@mijostyn-   If you're still using the TacT; have you upgraded the power supply?   If not: get the highest (Watts) output supply that Mean Well now offers (I haven't kept up with their offerings, of late), replace the regulator with something better, like either Bellesons or NewClassDs and every electrolytic, with Sanyo OsCons.  

                                         The stock/OEM board:

     If you're using analog I/O boards; replace every one of the crappy, surface-mount, electrolytics, with Elna Silmic IIs and the regulators with the same as mentioned above.

     The Elnas are considerably bigger than the surface mounts, so: you have to be creative, with SOME of the larger values' positioning, on the boards.

      Parts Connexion has everything needed, to perform the above.  

Getting the leads soldered to the tiny pads, left when removing the old caps, and you want them short as possible, as I did, is quite the chore.

  Should you choose to undertake an upgrade, if your haven't already, I'd happily walk you through it.

   This isn't just a, "trust me" issue!      YOU WILL be amazed at the transformation, such an, "upgrade" (in this case: a VERY apropos term) makes.

    " The Tact does not allow you to see the system's frequency response after correction."

     I have a Behringer DEQ2496, left over from a pro installation and in a closet, that I use SOLELY (if you get my drift), for it's 1/3 octave Spectrum Analyzer.    That works quite well, in conjunction with the afore mentioned test LP.

                                    I use my ears from there.

                                          Happy listening!

Dear @rodman99999  :  Very appreciated your time and advise.

Now, The time when I was willing to buy almost every vintage/today tonearms was many years ago when I was in that " score " of my audio life and I owned 25-30 different tonearms and from that came my " curiosity " to try the Magnepan. 

Not any more but thank's.

Mijo, the Goldmund T3F LT tonearm was a straight up ripoff of the Rabco SL8E, which was designed by an engineer who lived here in bethesda, MD, not a gnome in Switzerland. I always wondered whether it was done under a contractual agreement, and if not, whether there was a resulting law suit. Both of those tonearms  would have been prone to generate noise, and neither of them was a true linear tracker, because the action of the tonearm depends upon the stylus inscribing a tiny arc which then activates a switch which then turns on a motor that moves the pivot end of the arm wand down its track. Back in their day at one time or another I heard both, and I actually did not perceive any issues, but the demonstrations were usually in audio salons under poor conditions for critical listening. You are old enough to have heard them as well. Did you really like them in comparison to a good air bearing linear tracking tonearm? I never made that comparison myself.

@rauliruegas -        I understand, perfectly!

      "Curiosity" has killed this old cat's wallet, many times over, in as many scenarios.

                                 "Not any more"...INDEED!

@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.
