Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms

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.

@mijostyn- "What makes you believe the Tact does not go below 20 Hz?"

    I MEANT* to say: I cut off at 20Hz, in the program.   

    Lower would be a waste of of amplifier power, in my current room, given the dimensions and my phono pre has a subsonic filter, that can't (easily) be defeated.    It's 6dB/oct, so: affects freqs, somewhat higher than a steeper slope would.    

     Kinda between a rock and a hard place, though: if I ever have a larger space, I'm certain to address the issue.
