Smart move dhcod. Unipivot arms are inherently unstable. Look at the effort Basis and Graham put into their arms just to stabilize them. The Basis isn't even a unipivot any more. It is a bipivot. With very compliant cartridges there is some rational to it but with the stiffer cartridges we use today, forget it. If bearing "chatter" is a problem what is right about an arm freely rotation on it longitudinal axis? Some manufacturers like Lyra specifically recommend against unipivot arms.
If you have a unipivot and move to the gimbaled arm you will notice the bass tighten right up and you will no longer have to mess with the azimuth all the time.
