Could somebody explain to me the difference between the Moerch DP6 and the UP 4 tonearms. What is different technically and sonically speaking? What is the best match with a Verdier TT
Do a search at Vinyl Asylum for a post by Fretless regarding both Moerch arms. He has a UP-4 and has listened to the DP-6 as well.
I have used a DP-6 with 12" red wand for nearly 3 years, and have been very pleased with it. It sounds very good and it is flexible with cartridge matching. Some people will not like the feel of the UP-4 since the unipivot causes it to flop around when you handle it. That doesn't necessarily affect the sound, but it can affect how you interact with the arm which is important for long term satisfaction. The DP-6 has a very solid feel.
I agree that the UP4 is a unipivot, but I don't know if I would call the DP6 a regular pivited arm. I would more describe it as a unipivot with horizontal stabilization. Take a look at the technical details at the Moerch site. They explain it far better than I can.
