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....?

@mijostyn-    I've never had a problem getting excellent Bass with my chosen carts.

       Always have tried to match them correctly (compliance/effective mass, within reason), which, I realize, some think is bunk.

        In my mind: a high compliance cart, in some of the newer, higher mass arms, would create other problems.    ie: exaggerated cone motion, when trying to ride record warp, possibly: early compliance collapse and excessive stylus wear?

        Anyway: I've always been a Pipe Organ-phile, Bass lover and got acquainted with the sound of, "live", way before ever owning a system (Elementary School music classes, etc).      Well- there was the turntable and Elvis 45's, at around the age of 12, but...

       Two of my all-time favorite vinyls are the Crystal Clear, Direct to Disc, of Virgil Fox (The Fox Touch, Vol I) and MFSL, Dark Side of the Moon.

        Toccata and Fugue in D minor and the heartbeats (not to mention the rest of that disc), both are mesmerizing, when reproduced correctly.

                             Thanks for the suggestion, though!
Nothing like a big organ in a big space. The Royal Albert Hall comes to mind. When the 32 footers light up it is like the hand of god shaking you. Your vision blurs! Many of the largest organs in the world are here in the states. There is one in Rode Island and another in Philiderphia. West Point has a big one. 
I have not played an organ piece in a while and I have some great recordings. Unfortunately I still do not have a turntable and none of my organ records are digital files, all vinyl. 
You have to trust me on this one rodman99999, your bass can be even better!
IME all designs have their issues. The above mentioned Well Tempered ( which I own and very much like) has an issue with its adjustability and its front/back stability (although this has not proven to be a sonic detriment that I can hear). The unipivot and the gimbal have their pluses and minuses. I would think that a gimbal, if done well, would have superior stability to a uni pivot, all else being equal. Perhaps we should include an air-bearing design here as well....maybe best of all worlds?

There is as much difference among different air bearing tonearms in terms of these same issues as there is between a Unipivot and a gimbal bearing pivoted tonearm. It would take a separate thread to sort that out.
