Does the Micro Seiki ma-505 tonearm compare to modern arms?

Posted by boydkorab@hotmail.com on April 23, 2009 at 18:47:43:
Hi all,
I have a micro seiki dd-8 direct drive turntable which I really like. I am currently using a moerch up-4 tonearm on it with a zyx rs-30 cart.
The moerch is not the perfect match for the turntable, as the spindle to pivot distance is out by about 1cm. To compensate I adjust the cart position in the headshell.

I was thinking of getting a micro seiki ma-505 tonearm for the turntable as it would be a perfect fit. How does it compare to a modern arm like the moerch?

Or am I better off using the moerch with adjustments?
thanks!
