In Reply to: Which is a better arm, Graham 2.2 or Morch DP 6? posted by Sea Monster on September 17, 2006 at 08:41:15:
Aren't you glad you asked? Look at the responses from all of the experts here. Unless you are inquiring about old Thorens turntables, Denon 103 cartridges, the VPI Scout/arm, cheap Technics turntables, or an endless series of tweeks that in the execution rob you of listening time, you're not likely to get much help, especially if your question involves a product priced under several hundred dollars. But then we all know by now, don't we, that anything above that price level is a complete waste of money.

Neither Garth, nor I, gave an opinion. What we were trying to do was counter those who generate the very complaints that you have about content here. It is true that the endless posts about low-end equipment and unqualified comments about one thing, or the other, have masked any posts that involve what is considered to be high-end audio, but he did get at least one qualified opinion that was based on personal experience. I suppose that is worth something.
You didn't answer either.The question although perhaps innocent enough was not really very meaningful.
So what's better Ford or Chevy?
Coors or Budweiser?
Graham or Mørch.
I have met and talked with both men and Mørch is a good bit taller than Graham.
I didn't answer because, although I use-and love-a Moerch UP-4, I've never seen or heard a Graham in use and therefore am unqualified to offer an opinion. My comment was directed more at the bickering that broke out.
You are right, of course, but I read into the question that he was perhaps looking for a preference sort of answer. If, for example, twenty people came forward who had heard the Graham, and fifteen said that it seemed to present music in a bright way, he would have some feeling about the tonearm. That information coupled with similar kinds of information on the Mørch might be helpful to him when making his decision.
I've owned a Graham 1.5, 1.5 t, 1.5t/c, 2.0 basic, 2.0 deluxe and 2.2.I've never touched a Mørch.
What could I possibly say that would be helpful? The Mørch looks gawdy or is it gaudy? :-)
I suppose you could offer an opinion as to your experience with those tonearms. Maybe he could find others to confirm those opinions. Then, he may be able to find some opinions on the Mørch. In the end, he would have a bunch of opinions. They might be useful when combined, but still, they would be only opinions. I see your point.
