Re: Which is a better arm, Graham 2.2 or Morch DP 6?

I concur with Fretless' observations. Grahams are a paragon of machine design and ergonomics while sounding superb albeit in an unobstrusive, almost self-effacing, cool and composed manner that takes your attention off the arm. The DP6 otoh is like fragile and dainty jewelry, a little bit harder to setup compared to the typical arm - albeit not as fussy as the UP4 of course. It may not be as tonally neutral and smooth as the grahams but it is a better communicator of the music's dynamic expression for playback of emotionally charged music - especially lively "fun" music. Listening to Louis Armstrong thru the grahams one appreciates the lovely texture and timbre of his trumpet while thru the Morch, one appreciates his flashy and expressive playing instead. Either rendition is a winner but one way is better than the other if you know your taste and preferences.
